The Five of Spades

[Chorus]
The devil's in the cards
Draw down, draw down until you've pulled them all
One by one
The devil's in the cards
Draw down, draw down until you've pulled them all
One by one

[Verse 1]
Sit down and learn, boy, so you can make a four
Use your mother's rent at the alehouse floor

[Chorus]
The devil's in the cards
Draw down, draw down until you've pulled them all
One by one
The devil's in the cards
Draw down, draw down until you've pulled them all
One by one

[Verse 2]
Break from the jail, takе the hills to voe
Tell Clara you'll bе back for her, on a ship from Nova Scotia

[Chorus]
The devil's in the cards
Draw down, draw down until you've pulled them all
One by one
The devil's in the cards
Draw down, draw down until you've pulled them all
One by one

[Verse 3]
Jack Hara was an Orkney man who sailed the Arctic Sea
On a ship called the Anna with a goodly company
Jack Hara was an Orkney man, he drank down buckets of ale
Beside the coast of Greenland, he killed the king of the whales

[Chorus]
The devil's in the cards
Draw down, draw down until you've pulled them all
One by one
The devil's in the cards
Draw down, draw down until you've pulled them all
One by one

[Verse 4]
Jack Hara was an Orkney man, the boldest ever seen
A luckier gambler never laid an ace upon a queen
Jack Hara was an Orkney man who bought deerskins for rum
When his chest is full of gold, back to his sweetheart he'll come

[Chorus]
The devil's in the cards
Draw down, draw down until you've pulled them all
One by one
The devil's in the cards
Draw down, draw down until you've pulled them all
One by one

[Verse 5]
Flogged by the mast, burn the body down
Leave the five of spades on the smoky ground

[Chorus]
The devil's in the cards
Draw down, draw down until you've pulled them all
One by one
The devil's in the cards
Draw down, draw down until you've pulled them all
One by one

[Chorus]
The devil's in the cards
Draw down, draw down until you've pulled them all
One by one
The devil's in the cards
Draw down, draw down until you've pulled them all
One by one
