Gold and Mudd are playing five-card stud Poker. Within this game, the cards are somewhat personified so that the Clubs and the Diamonds are at war with each other. Gold wins most of the hands with Club flushes and such, but Mudd's luck turns around when he goes all in for the last deal. Gold gets four kings, but the Ace of Clubs betrays him (remember that Gold had been winning with Club flushes and the King of Clubs' help, somehow) by falling into Mudd's hand and giving him all four aces, allowing Mudd to win everything back (apparently with some help from the Queen of Diamonds).
I've never been much for Poker, so I might be getting some of the particulars of their hands wrong, but it basically makes sense from the lyrics.
I guess you can take it deeper with the last lines if you want, but I just like to leave it as an incredibly well-told story of two men playing Poker.
