Spanish Train and Other Stories is the second album by Chris de Burgh, released by A&M Records in 1975. Releases in some markets, like in North America, used different cover art than those in Europe. Rather than the simple white-on-black text of the European releases, the North American releases depicted an image of a train speeding through an evening sky.

The eponymous song from Chris de Burgh’s 1975 album Spanish Train and Other Stories, this song details a high-stakes game of poker between Jesus or God (it is unclear whom exactly) and the Devil – for souls (including those on the titular Spanish train). Spanish Train" Track Info. Spanish Train and Other Stories Chris De Burgh.
The opening "Spanish Train" is a mysterious yarn about a poker game between God and the Devil, where the victor inherits the soul of a dying train engineer. de Burgh's vocal escalation from serene to flamboyant makes this one of his best songs, as does the marvelous twist at the end of the story. A Spaceman Came Travelling" has de Burgh blanketing his wispy voice in a tale about the birth of Jesus, only his version substitutes the Star of Bethlehem for an alien visitor who has arrived to reveal a startling message.
