"Gamblers Train"

Folks,

With many, many apologies to Chris De Burgh..........


There's a gamblers' train that runs between
Gardenia and The Bicycle
And at dead of night the whistle blows
And people fear 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, the PokerDean lay dying, with his fans by his side
His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died
But above his head, just waiting for the dead
Was RussG with a twinkle in his eye
"Well, Caro's not around and look what I've found;
this one's mine."

Just then the Genius himself appeared in a blinding flash of light
And shouted at Russ "Get thee hence to endless night".
But Russ 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 RussG 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, Mike, 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 Mike, he's going to win"

Well the PokerDean he cut the cards
and he dealt them each a hand of five
And for the Genius he was praying hard
For that train he'd have to drive...

Well Russ he had three aces and a king
And the Genius, he was running for a straight
He had the queen and the knave and the nine and ten of spades
All he needed was the eight.

And then Mike called for one more card
And he drew the diamond eight.
And Russ said to the Mad Genius
"I believe you've got a 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 Mike didn't see what RussG did
and he said that suits me fine.
I'll raise you high to hundred and five
And forever put an end to your sins
But Russ let out a mighty shout, "My hand wins"

And I said "Mike, oh Mike, 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 Mike, don't let him win..."

Well that gamblers' train still runs between
Gardenia and the Bicycle
And at dead of night the whistle blows
And people hear she's running still

And far away in some recess
The Genius and Russ are now playing chess
Russ still cheats and wins more souls
And as for the Genius, well, he's just doing his best

And I said "Mike, oh Mike, 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 Mike, you've got to win"

Warmest

Phil
