BROOMFIELD WAGER

A wager, a wager, a wager I'll lay you
I'll lay you five thousands to your one
That a maiden I will go to the merry broom field
And a maiden I'm sure I will return
(repeat last two lines)
Hold the wheel


I have checked all the threads on this song and can not find an explanation for "hold the wheel". Is it a work song of sorts?
