Name: Deal Breaker
Duration: P00H03M42S
Description: An amusing tale of a ne'er-do-well, unknowingly caught, as we all are, in the talons of Fate (freewill being nothing other than a Rush song), as he is flown about and dropped willy-nilly, till the loop goes over his head. Like my granny used to say, "If you don't drown you'll hang so let the big cat jump."

An amusing tale of a ne'er-do-well, unknowingly caught, as we all are, in the talons of Fate (freewill being nothing other than a Rush song), as he is flown about and dropped willy-nilly, till the loop goes over his head.

lyrics

Deal Breaker

Papa was a trapper
Mama was a maid
We settled down a lot but we never stayed
I used to ask why, but they would just say
This is the best deal you’re gonna get

Got hired on a whaler
Sailed around the horn
The work was appalling and the pay was poor
I jumped ship around Baja when they said to me
This is the best deal you’re gonna get

Made my way to Coloma
Try panning for gold
But I got there late and all the lots were sold
So I found me a patron, raised my gun and said
This is the best deal you’re gonna get

They threw me in a buggy
And hauled me into town
Jury was done before the sun went down
Hangman said he hoped that God would have mercy on me
I said there’s a first time for everything
