Martha's Aces

from Fingers in my Pocket by Robin Auld

lyrics

Lay your aces down Martha, lay your 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 run to ground
the table calls to see you Martha..just lay your aces down.
You know you had so much from me, counted for nothing at all
tell me is it worth just a little more, with your back against the wall.
Had yourself an easy run, were you bluffing all along?
The table calls to see you Martha..just lay your aces down.
It’s the 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 ever happened to you?
Lay your aces down Martha, lay your 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 run to ground
the table calls to see you Martha..just lay your aces down.
