I have sung and prayed for our redemption
And Ive held up my guns and marched in revolution
But as the earth shook beneath I wondered
Where Id lay my head back downOh they say the Queen of Spades will break your heart
And run away with all of your hard-earned money
But youll lay your head back down
And youll wish she slept beside you anywayShell break your heart, but youll wish she slept beside you anywayI have raised the white flag of surrender
Over the fields where we buried sons and lovers
As the cannons flashed and thundered
As Death came calling everybody homeOh they say the Queen of Spades will break your heart
And run away with all of your hard-earned money
But youll lay your head back down
And youll wish she slept beside you anywayShell break your heart, but youll wish she slept beside you anyway
