lyrics

There is a house
Upon a hill
I loved it then
I miss it still
Gave up my child
My new wed wife
To pursue
The gambling life
Oh spinning wheel
You pay the band
You mark my deck
The sinner’s hand
Here in the land
Where shadows end
I am winning
While I’m losing again
The devil’s pact
I made my mark
It’s darkness lit me
With a spark
No man can hide
The cards he holds
I’ll read you face
Right to your soul
Oh spinning wheel
You pay the band
You mark my deck
The sinner’s hand
Here in the land
Where shadows end
I am winning
While I’m losing again
Last hand I played
I played today
The cards were true not one did stray
They tried to cheat me
And shot them all
Now I await
The hangman’s call
Oh spinning wheel
You pay the band
You mark my deck
The sinner’s hand
Here in the land
Where shadows end
I am winning
While I’m losing again

about

The Kingdom of Jones Sydney, Australia
