Lay your aces down, Martha
Lay your aces down
It's not the time for you to tell
Your tales all over town, oh

Like a fox that's on the run
You've been underground
The table calls to see your mother
Just lay your aces down

I know you had so much for me
Charging for nothing at all
Tell me, is it worth just a little more
With your back against the wall?

Lend yourself, you had yourself an easy run
Were you bluffing all along, oh?
The table calls to see your mother
Just lay those aces down, girl

It's a winter of your discontent now
Nothing else is heaven sent now
Gonna have to find yourself
Something else to do

Nowhere left to turn now
No bridges left to burn now
Could it be the best thing
That's ever happened to you?
Ooh

Lay your aces down, Martha
Lay those aces down
It's not the time for you to tell
Your tales all over town

Like a fox that's on the run
You've been, you've been underground, oh
The table calls to see your mother
Just lay your aces down, girl

Lay your aces down, oh
Oh Martha
Oh Martha
Lay your aces down
Oh Martha
Oh Martha
Ooh
