Bridge 1
Dm
There's a Spanish train that runs between
Bb
Guadalquivir and old Saville
C
And at dead of night the whistle blows
Dm
Gm
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 of the dead
Dm
Gm
Dm
ten thousand deep
Verse 1
Dm
Well a railwayman lay dying
Bb
C
Dm
with his people by his side
His family were crying,
Bb
A
knelt in prayer before he died
Bb
C
But above his bed just a waiting for the dead
A
Dm
Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye
Bb
Well God's not around
C
and look what I've found,
Verse 2
Dm
Just then the Lord himself appeared
Bb
C
Dm
in a blinding flash of light
And shouted at the Devil,
Bb
A
get thee hence to endless night
Bb
But the Devil just grinned
C
and said I may have sinned
A
Dm
But there's no need to push me around
Bb
C
I got him first so you can do your worst
Dm
He's going underground
Verse 3
Dm
But I think I'll give you one more chance
Bb
C
Dm
Said the Devil with a smile
So throw away that stupid lance
Bb
A
It's really not your style
Bb
C
Joker is the name, poker is the game
A
Dm
We'll play right here on this bed
Bb
C
And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet
Dm
The souls of the dead
Chorus 1
Bb
C
Dm
And I said look out, Lord, He's going to win
Bb
C
Dm
The sun is down and the night is riding in
Bb
A
That train is dead on time,
Dm
Gm
many souls are on the line
Bb
C
Oh Lord, He's going to win

Verse 4
Dm
Well the railwayman he cut the cards
Bb
C
Dm
And he dealt them each a hand of five
And for the Lord, he was praying hard
Bb
A
Or that train he'd have to drive
Bb
C
Well the Devil he had three aces and a king
A
Dm
And the Lord, he was running for a straight
Bb
He had the queen and the knave
C
and nine and ten of spades
Dm
All he needed was the eight
Verse 5
Dm
And then the Lord 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
A
I believe you've got it straight
Bb
C
So deal me one for the time has come
A
Dm
To see who'll be the king of this place
Bb
C
But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak
Dm
He slipped another ace
Verse 6
Dm
Ten thousand souls was the opening bid,
Bb
C
Dm
soon went up to fifty nine
But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did
Bb
A
And he said that suits me fine
Bb
C
I'll raise you high to a hundred and five
A
Dm
And forever put an end to your sins
Bb
C
But the Devil let out a mighty shout,
Chorus 2
Bb
C
Dm
And I said Lord, oh Lord, you let him win
Bb
C
Dm
The sun is down and the night is riding in
Bb
A
That train is dead on time,
Dm
Gm
many souls are on the line
Bb
C
Oh Lord, don't let him win

Bridge 2
Dm
Well that Spanish train still runs between
Bb
Guadalquivir and old Saville
C
And at dead of night the whistle blows
Dm
Gm
Dm
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
Dm
well, he's just doing his best
Chorus 3
Bb
C
Dm
And I said Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win
Bb
C
Dm
The sun is down and the night is riding in
Bb
A
That train is dead on time,
Dm
Gm
oh my soul is on the line
Bb
C
Dm
Oh Lord, you've got to win
