DmThere's a Spanish train that runs between BbQuadelquidir and old Seville
and at Cdead of night the whistle blows and people A7hear she's running Dmstill
And then they Dmhush their children back to sleep lBbock the doors upstairs they creep
for Cit is said that the souls of the dead fill that A7train ten thousand dDmeep
Well a Dmrailwayman lay dying with his Bbpeople Cby his Dmside
His Dmfamily were crying knelt in Bbprayer before he A7died
But aBbbove his head just Cwaiting for the dead
was the A7devil with a twinkle in his Dmeye
Well GBbod's not around look wChat I've found This one's miDmne
Just Dmthen the Lord himself appeared in a Bbblinding Cflash of Dmlight
And Dmshouted at the devil get thee hBbence to eA7ndless night
But the Bbdevil just grinned and said I Cmay have sinned
but there's Amno need to push me Dmaround
I Bbgot here first so you can Cdo your worst he's going undergDmround
But I Dmthink I'll give you one more chance said the Bbdevil Cwith a Dmsmile
so Dmthrow away that stupid lance It's rBbeally not your sA7tyle
JokDmer is the name pCoker is the game we'll plBbay right here on this beA7d
And Bbthen we'll bet for the Cbiggest stakes yet - the souls of the Dmdead
And I said lBbook out LCord he's gonna wDmin
The Bbsun is down and the Cnight's riding Dmin
The Bbtrain is dead on A7time many sDmouls are on the lGmine
oh BbLord he's gA7onna wDmin
Now the Dmrailwayman he cut the cards and he Bbdealt them each a Chand of Dmfive
And for the DmLord he was praying hard for that Bbtrain he'd have to A7drive
Well the dBbevil he had three aCces and a king
and the A7Lord he was running for a Dmstraight
he had the Bbqueen and the knave thCe nine and ten of spades all he needed was the eigDmht
and then the DmLord he called for one more card but he Bbdrew the Cdiamond Dmeight
And Dmthe devil said to the Son of God I bBbelieve you've got it sA7traight
So Bbdeal me one for the Ctime has come to see Amwho'll be the Dmking of this place
But Bbas he spoke from beneath his Ccloak he slipped another Dmace
Ten Dmthousand souls was the opening bid but sBboon went uCp to fifty-nDmine
but the DmLord didn't see what the devil did and he Bbsaid that suits me fA7ine
I'll Dmraise you high to Chundred and five and Bbforever put an end to your A7sins
But the Bbdevil let out a mighty Cshout my hand wDmins
And I said lBbord oh LoCrd don't let him wiDmn
The Bbsun is down and the Cnight's riding Dmin
The Bbtrain is dead on A7time many sDmouls are on the lGmine
oh BbLord he's gA7onna wDmin
DmThere's a Spanish train that runs between BbQuadelquidir and old Seville
and at Cdead of night the whistle blows and people A7hear she's running Dmstill
And far Dmaway in some recess the BbLord and the devil are now playing chess
The Cdevil still cheats and wins more souls and as for the Lord well he's just doA7ing his beDmst
And I said lBbord oh LoCrd you've gotta wiDmn
The Bbsun is down and the Cnight's riding Dmin
The Bbtrain is still on A7time oh my sDmoul is on the lGmine
oh BbLord you've gA7ot to wDmin
