[Verse 1]
There's a Spanish train that runs between
Guadalquivir and old Seville
And at dead of night the whistle blows
And people hear she's running still
And then they hush their children back to sleep
Lock the doors, upstairs they creep
For it is said that the souls of the dead
Fill that train ten thousand deep
Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side
His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died
But above his bed just awaiting for the dead
Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye
"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!"
But the Devil just grinned and said "I may have sinned
But there's no need to push me around
I got here first so you can do your worst
He's going underground!"
"But I think I'll give you one more chance"
Said the Devil with a smile
"So throw away that stupid lance
It's really not your style"
"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!"
