Dm
|
There's a Spanish train that runs
|
Bb
|
Between Quadelquidir
|
And old Seville
|
C
|
And at dead of night the whistle
|
A7
|
Blows and people hear
|
Dm
|
She's running still
|
Dm
|
And then they hush their children
|
|
Back to sleep
|
Bb
|
Lock the doors upstairs they creep
|
C
|
For it is said that the souls
|
A7
|
Of the dead fill up the train
|
Dm
|
Ten thousand deep
|
Dm
|
Well a railway-man lay dying
|
Bb C Dm
|
With his people by his side
|
Dm
|
His family were crying knelt
|
Bb A7
|
In prayer before he died
|
Bb C
|
But above his bed just awaiting
|
|
For the dead was the
|
A7
|
Devil with a twinkle in
|
Dm
|
His eye
|
Bb
|
'Well, God's not around look
|
C Dm
|
what I've found? This one's mine'
|
Dm
|
Just then the Lord himself
|
Bb
|
Appeared in a blinding
|
C Dm
|
Flash of light
|
|
And shouted at the devil
|
Bb A7
|
'get thee hence to endless night'
|
Bb
|
But the devil just grinned
|
C
|
And said 'I may have sinned
|
A7
|
But there's no need to
|
Dm
|
Push me around
|
Bb C
|
I got here first so you can do
|
Your worst
|
Dm
|
He's going under ground'
|
Dm
|
'Well I think I'll give you
|
One more chance'
|
Bb C Dm
|
Said the devil with a smile
|
Dm
|
So throw away that stupid lance
|
Bb A7
|
'It's really not your style'
|
Bb
|
Joker is the name
|
C
|
Poker is the game
|
A7
|
We'll play right here
|
Dm
|
On this bed
|
Bb
|
And then we'll bet for the
|
C
|
Biggest stakes yet
|
Dm
|
The souls of the dead
|
Bb
|
And I said 'look out
|
C Dm
|
Lord he's gonna win
|
Bb
|
The sun is down and
|
C Dm
|
The night's riding in
|
Bb A7
|
That train is dead on time
|
Dm Gm
|
Many souls are on the line
|
Bb A7 Dm
|
Oh Lord, he's gonna win'
|
He cut the cards
|
Bb C Dm
|
And he dealt each a hand of five
|
|
And for the Lord
|
He was praying hard
|
Bb A7
|
For that train he'd have to drive
|
Bb
|
Well, the devil
|
C
|
He had three aces and a king
|
A7
|
And the Lord he was running
|
Dm
|
For a straight he had
|
Bb
|
The queen and the knave
|
C
|
The nine and ten of spades
|
Dm
|
All he needed was the eight
|
He called for one more card
|
Bb C Dm
|
But he drew the diamond eight
|
|
And the devil said
|
To the Son of God,
|
Bb A7
|
'I believe you've got it straight
|
Bb
|
So deal me one for
|
C
|
The time has come to see
|
A7 Dm
|
Who'll be the king of this place'
|
Bb C
|
But as he spoke from beneath
|
Dm
|
His cloak he slipped another ace
|
Was the opening bid
|
Bb C Dm
|
But it soon went up to fifty-nine
|
Dm
|
But the Lord didn't see
|
Bb
|
What the devil did and he said,
|
A7
|
'that suits me fine.'
|
Bb
|
I'll raise you high to
|
C A7
|
A hundred-five and forever
|
Dm
|
Put an end to your sins
|
Bb C
|
But the devil let out a mighty
|
Dm
|
Shout 'my hand wins'
|
Bb C
|
And i said 'Lord oh Lord
|
Dm
|
You let him win
|
Bb
|
The sun is down and the
|
C Dm
|
Night's riding in
|
Bb A7
|
That train is dead on time
|
Dm Gm
|
Many souls are on the line
|
Bb
|
Oh Lord
|
A7 Dm
|
Don't let him win
|
Dm
|
Well that Spanish train
|
Still runs between
|
Bb
|
Quadelquidir and old Seville And
|
C
|
At dead of night The Whistle Blows
|
A7 Dm
|
And people fear she's running still
|
Dm
|
And far away in some recess
|
Bb
|
The Lord and the devil
|
|
Are now playing chess
|
C
|
The devil still cheats
|
And wins more souls
|
A7
|
And as for the Lord well
|
Dm
|
he's just doing his best
|
Bb C
|
And I said 'Lord, oh Lord
|
Dm
|
You've gotta win
|
Bb
|
The sun is down and the
|
C Dm
|
Night's riding in
|
Bb A7
|
The train is still on time
|
Dm Gm
|
Oh my soul is on the line
|
Bb C Dm
|
Oh Lord, you've got to win'
