Spanish Train Chris de Burgh There's a Spanish train that runs between Guadalquivir and old Saville 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 a waiting 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 him 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 And I said look out, Lord, He's going to win The sun is down and the night is riding in That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line Oh Lord, He's going to win Well the railwayman he cut the cards And he dealt them each a hand of five And for the Lord, he was praying hard Or that train he'd have to drive Well the Devil he had three aces and a king And the Lord, he was running for a straight He had the queen and the knave and nine and ten of spades All he needed was the eight And then the Lord he called for one more card But he drew the diamond eight And the Devil said to the son of God I believe you've got it straight So deal me one for the time has come To see who'll be the king of this place But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak He slipped another ace Ten thousand souls was the opening bid And it soon went up to fifty nine But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did And he said that suits me fine I'll raise you high to a hundred and five And forever put an end to your sins But the Devil let out a mighty shout, my hand wins And I said Lord, oh Lord, you let him win The sun is down and the night is riding in That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line Oh Lord, don't let him win Well that Spanish train still runs between Guadalquivir and old Saville And at dead of night the whistle blows And people fear she's running still And far away in some recess The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess The Devil still cheats and wins more souls And as for the Lord, well, he's just doing his best And I said Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win The sun is down and the night is riding in That train is still on time, oh my soul is on the line Oh Lord, you've got to win Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Chris De Burgh Spanish Train lyrics © BMG Rights Management
The Gambler by Kenny Rogers is my favourite trading song, although about gambling not trading. Another song that reminds me of trading but is not about trading is the 'House of the rising sun'. Oh, mother, tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God, I know I'm one Theories about the House of the Rising sun is, some think it refers to a brothel, it always sounded like a gambling place to me... like spending your life day trading the markets..
%% One asked Kenny Rogers, if he liked to gamble himself?? Kenny R said '' i never could make enough money gambling to excite me'' LOL. WHO shakes thewhole earth with thunder; + leaves us breathless in awe + wonder?? The King of Glory, the King above all kings- Phil Wickam/ 80 million video Views The devil is pictured several ways, one of them as a talking snake. Like the talking snake media?? Yes like the talking snake media liars .LOL But the devil as talking snake\ cant even whip a mongoose, or an arch angel. Good question zdreg. Red Sea Rules.
%% I thought so to ,Courtney. Even with 196 million video views[The Gambler-Kenny Rogers]; he most likely was telling the truth I got more out of the IBD Swing Trader ad+ Phil Wickam than that 196 VV million gambler . Most of my whole family is musical\me 2, i play the radio + music videos a LOT, even while trading/investing. ''I ain't ready for the junk yard yet; i feel like a new Corvette. I don't need no rockin' chair\ Geritol or your Medicare G Jones >3,577,888 Video views May take me longer\ but I'll get there.'' He laughs a lot on that song, but, for real- no rockin' chair or Medicare.
