《Spanish Train (Live)》歌词

[00:00:52] There's a Spanish train that runs between

[00:00:56] Guadalquivir and old Saville

[00:00:57] And at dead of night the whistle blows

[00:01:00] And people hear she's running still

[00:01:07] And then they hush their children back to sleep

[00:01:11] Lock the doors, upstairs they creep

[00:01:14] For it is said that the souls of the dead

[00:01:17] Fill that train ten thousand deep

[00:01:23] Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side

[00:01:29] His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died

[00:01:35] But above his bed just a waiting for the dead

[00:01:38] Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye

[00:01:41] Well God's not around and look what I've found, this one's mine

[00:01:48] Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light

[00:01:53] And shouted at the Devil, get thee hence to endless night

[00:02:00] But the Devil just grinned and said I may have sinned

[00:02:02] But there's no need to push me around

[00:02:06] I got him first so you can do your worst

[00:02:09] He's going underground

[00:02:13] But I think I'll give you one more chance

[00:02:16] Said the Devil with a smile

[00:02:19] So throw away that stupid lance

[00:02:21] It's really not your style

[00:02:25] Joker is the name, poker is the game

[00:02:28] We'll play right here on this bed

[00:02:31] And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet

[00:02:34] The souls of the dead

[00:02:40] And I said look out, Lord, He's going to win

[00:02:46] The sun is down and the night is riding in

[00:02:51] That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line

[00:02:56] Oh Lord, He's going to win

[00:03:06] Well the railwayman he cut the cards

[00:03:09] And he dealt them each a hand of five

[00:03:12] And for the Lord, he was praying hard

[00:03:14] Or that train he'd have to drive

[00:03:18] Well the Devil he had three aces and a king

[00:03:21] And the Lord, he was running for a straight

[00:03:23] He had the queen and the knave and nine and ten of spades

[00:03:27] All he needed was the eight

[00:03:31] And then the Lord he called for one more card

[00:03:33] But he drew the diamond eight

[00:03:37] And the Devil said to the son of God

[00:03:40] I believe you've got it straight

[00:03:43] So deal me one for the time has come

[00:03:45] To see who'll be the king of this place

[00:03:48] But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak

[00:03:52] He slipped another ace

[00:03:55] Ten thousand souls was the opening bid

[00:03:57] And it soon went up to fifty nine

[00:04:01] But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did

[00:04:03] And he said that suits me fine

[00:04:06] I'll raise you high to a hundred and five

[00:04:09] And forever put an end to your sins

[00:04:11] But the Devil let out a mighty shout, my hand wins

[00:04:21] And I said Lord, oh Lord, you let him win

[00:04:26] The sun is down and the night is riding in

[00:04:31] That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line

[00:04:36] Oh Lord, don't let him win

[00:04:49] Well that Spanish train still runs between

[00:04:54] Guadalquivir and old Saville

[00:04:55] And at dead of night the whistle blows

[00:04:58] And people fear she's running still

[00:05:05] And far away in some recess

[00:05:08] The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess

[00:05:11] The Devil still cheats and wins more souls

[00:05:14] And as for the Lord, well, he's just doing his best

[00:05:31] And I said Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win

[00:05:36] The sun is down and the night is riding in

[00:05:41] That train is still on time, oh my soul is on the line

[00:05:48] Oh Lord, you've got to win
