DmBb There's a Spanish train that runs between Quadelquidir and old Seville
CA7Dm and at dead of night the whistle blows and people hear she's running still.
DmBb And then they hush their children back to sleep, lock the doors upstairs they creep,
CA7Dm for it is said that the souls of the dead fill up the train, ten thousand deep.
DmBbCDm Well a railway-man lay dying with his people by his side,
BbA7 his family were crying knelt in prayer before he died.
BbCA7 But ab ove his bed just waiting for the dead was the devil with a twinkle in
Dm his eye.
BbCDm Well, God's not around look what I've found? This one's mine.
BbCDm Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light.
BbA7 And shouted at the devil, get thee hence to endless night.
BbCAm But the devil just grinned and said I may have sinned but there's no need to
Dm push me around.
BbCDm I got here first so you can do your worst, he's going under ground.
DmBbCDm Well I think I give you one more chance said the devil with a smile,
DmBbA7 so throw away that stupid lance. 'It's really not your style'.
BbCA7Dm Joker is the name, poker is the game, we'll play right here on this bed.
BbCDm And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet - the souls of the dead.
BbCDm And I said, look out Lord he's gonna win,
BbCDm The sun is down and the night's riding in.
BbA7DmGm That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,
BbA7Dm oh Lord, he's gonna win.
DmBbCDm Now the railway-man he cut the cards and he dealt each a hand of Dmfive.
BbA7 And for the Lord he was praying hard for that train he'd have to drive,
BbC Well, the devil he had three aces and a king
A7Dm and the Lord he was running for a straight he had
BbCDm the queen and the knave the nine and ten of spades all he needed was the eight,
BbCDm and then the Lord, he called for one more card but he drew the diamond eight.
BbA7 And the devil said to the Son of God, 'I believe you've got it straight,
BbCAmDm so deal me one for the time has come to see who'll be the king of this place',
BbCDm But as he spoke from beneath his cloak he slipped another ace.
DmBbCDm Ten thousand souls was the opening bid, but it soon went up to fifty-nine,
DmBbA7 but the Lord didn't see what the devil did and he said, 'that suits me fine.'
BbCA7Dm I'll raise you high to hundred-five and forever put an end to your sins.
BbCDm But the devil let out a mighty shout 'my hand wins'.
BbCDmBb And i said, Lord oh, Lord you let him win, The sun is down and the
CDm night's riding in.
BbA7DmGmBb The train is dead on time, many souls are on the line, oh Lord,
A7Dm don't let him win.
DmBb Well that Spanish train still runs between Quadelquidir and old Seville
CA7Dm and at dead of night the whistle blows and people fear she's running still.
DmBb And far away in some recess the Lord and the devil are now playing chess.
CA7 The devil still cheats and wins more souls and as for the Lord well, he's just
Dm doing his best,
BbCDmBb And i said, Lord oh, Lord you've gotta win. The sun is down and the
CDm night's riding in.
BbA7DmGmBb The train is still on time, oh my soul is on the line, oh Lord,
