Got an ace and king and doubleton jack
I went out on a limb and I never went back
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
I made a bad bid and I just kept going

(Chorus)

I hope my partner's got the ace of hearts
I hope my partner's got the ace of hearts
Lay down the dummy and you've played your part
I hope my partner's got the ace of hearts

I am screwed; I need to take the rest
Need them all to get the contract done
Don't make no difference that I'm out of trump
'Aint nobody like to go down one
