Version 1 of the lyrics

1  There's a solitary man crying, "Hold me"   There's a solitary man crying,             1
2  It's only because he's lonely   "Hold me."                        2
1  It's only because he's a-lonely1
  If the keeper of time runs slowly  If the keeper of time runs slowly
3  He won't be alive for long   He won't be alive for long! 3
      
4  If he only had time to tell of all of the things he planned   If he only had time to tell of all                               4
5  With a card up his sleeve, what would he achieve? It means nothing   of the things                                he planned                     5
2  With a card up his sleeve, what would he achieve?2
3  It means nothing!3
      
6  Through the opium dens and the barroom gin   To the opium den and the barroom gin 6
  In the Belmont chair playing violins  In the Belmont chair playing violins
  The gambler's face cracks into a grin  The gambler's face cracks into a grin
  As he lays down the king of spades  As he lays down the king of spades
      
  But the dealer just stares  But the dealer just stares
  There's something wrong here, he thinks  There's something wrong here, he thinks
  The gambler is seized and forced to his knees  The gambler is seized and forced to his knees
  And shot dead  And shot dead
      
7  He only wanted more time away from the darkest door   He only wanted more time                                 7
8  But his luck it gave in as the dawn light crept in   Away from                         the darkest door            8
4  But his luck it gave in4
5  As the dawn light crept in5
  And he lay on the floor  And he lay on the floor
      
9  From the hundred year war to the Crimea   From the Hundred Year War to the Crimea 9
  With a lance and a musket and a Roman spear  With a lance and a musket and a Roman spear
  To all of the men who have stood with no fear  To all of the men who have stood with no fear
10  In the service of the king   In the service of the King 10
      
11  Before you met your fate be sure you did not forsake   Before you met your fate be sure you                    11
12  Your lover may not be around anymore   Did             not forsake your lover 12
13                                   May not be around anymore 13
1  There's a solitary man crying, "Hold me"   1
2  It's only because he's lonely   2
3  If the keeper of time runs slowly   3
4  He won't be alive for long   4
