Em G D A
Martha say she don't need no stinking man making no decisions for her!
Em G
She don't need his money,.. she don't need him between the sheets,..
D A
She ain't gonna sleep on the edge of the bed for no stinking man!
Em G
And that's the way she lives 'cause I saw her last night
D A
Pouring water on a drowning man in the moonlight,.. saying

Martha say she don't need no revolver to shoot some idiot down!
Em G
She can do it with her eyes,.. she can do it with her smile,..
