Version 1 of the lyrics

There's a Spanish train that runs between

Guadalquivir and old Seville

Guadalquivir and old Saville,

And at dead of night the whistle blows

And at dead of night the whistle blows,

And people hear she's running still

and people hear she's running still...

And then they hush their children back to sleep

And then they hush their children back to sleep,

Lock the doors, upstairs they creep

Lock the doors, upstairs they creep,

For it is said that the souls of the dead

Fill that train ten thousand deep

Fill that train ten thousand deep!!

Well a railwaymen lay dying with his people by his side

Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side,

His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died

His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died,

But above his bed just a-waiting for the dead

But above his bed just a-waiting for the dead,

Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye

Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye,

Well God's not around and look what I've found this one's mine!

"Well God's not around and look what I've found,

this one's mine!!"

Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light

And shouted at the devil, get thee hence to endless night!

Just then the Lord himself appeared in

But the Devil just grinned and said I may have sinned

a blinding flash of light,

But there's no need to push me around

And shouted at the Devil, "Get thee

I got him first so you can do your worst he's going underground

hence to endless night!!"

But the Devil just grinned and said "I may have sinned,

But I think I'll give you one more chance said the Devil with a smile

But there's no need to push me around,

So throw away that stupid lance, it's really not your style

I got him first so you can do your worst,

Joker is the name, Poker is the game, we'll play right here on this bed

He's going underground!!"

And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet, the souls of the dead!!

"But I think I'll give you one more chance"

And I said Look out, Lord, he's going to win

said the Devil with a smile,

The sun is down and the night is riding in

"So throw away that stupid lance,

That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line

It's really not your style",

Oh Lord, he's going to win

"Joker is the name, Poker is the game,

we'll play right here on this bed,

And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet,

the souls of the dead!!"

And I said "Look out, Lord, He's going to win,

The sun is down and the night is riding in,

That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,

Oh Lord, He's going to win!.."

Well the railwayman he cut the cards

And he dealt them each a hand of five

And he dealt them each a hand of five,

And for the Lord he was praying hard

Or that train he'd have to drive

Or that train he'd have to drive...

Well the Devil he had three aces and a king,

Well the Devil he had three aces and a king

And the Lord, he was running for a straight,

And the Lord, he was running for a straight

He had the queen and the knave and nine and ten of spades,

He had the queen and the knave and the nine and ten of spades

All he needed was the eight...

All he needed was the eight

And then the Lord he called for one more card,

And then the Lord he called for one more card

But he drew the diamond eight,

But he drew the diamond eight

And the Devil said to the son of God,

And the Devil said to the son of God

"I believe you've got it straight,

I believe you've got it straight

So deal me one for the time has come

To see who'll be the king of this place

To see who'll be the king of this place,

But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak

But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak,

He slipped another ace

He slipped another ace...

Ten thousand souls was the opening bid

Ten thousand souls was the opening bid,

And it soon went up to fifty-nine

And it soon went up to fifty-nine,

But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did

But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did,

And he said that suits me fine

And he said "that suits me fine",

"I'll raise you high to a hundred and five,

I'll raise you high to hundred and five

And forever put an end to your sins",

And forever put an end to your sins

But the Devil let out a mighty shout, "My hand wins!!"

But the Devil let out a mighty shout

My hand wins

And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you let him win,

The sun is down and the night is riding in,

And I said Lord, oh Lord, you let him win

That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,

The sun is down and the night is riding in

Oh Lord, don't let him win..."

That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line

Oh Lord, don't let him win

Well that Spanish train still runs between,

Guadalquivir and old Saville,

Well that Spanish train still runs between

And at dead of night the whistle blows,

Guadalquivir and old Seville

And people fear she's running still...

And at dead of night the whistle blows

And people fear she's running still

And far away in some recess

The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess

The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess,

The Devil still cheats and wins more souls

The Devil still cheats and wins more souls,

And as for the Lord, well, he's just doing his best

And as for the Lord, well, he's just doing his best...

And I said Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win

And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win,

The Sun is down and the night is riding in

The sun is down and the night is riding in,

That train is still on time, oh my soul is on the line

That train is still on time, oh my soul is on the line,

Oh Lord, you've got to win

Oh Lord, you've got to win..."
