Luyện nghe bài hát Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts

The festival was the boys were all plannin' for a fall
The was quiet except for the drillin' in the wall
The had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down
Anyone any sense had already left town
He was standin' in the lookin' like the Jack of Hearts

He moved the mirrored room
"Set it up for everyone", he
everyone commenced to do
What they were doin' before he turned heads
Then he walked up to a and he asked him with a grin
"Could you kindly tell me friend what time the begins?"
Then he moved into the corner face down like the Jack of

Backstage the girls were playin' five-card by the stairs
Lily had two queens she was for a third to match her pair
Outside the streets were fillin' up the window was open
A gentle breeze was you could feel it from inside
Lily another bet and drew up the Jack of Hearts

Big Jim was no one's fool he owned the town's diamond mine
He his usual entrance lookin' so dandy and so fine
With his bodyguards and silver cane and every hair in
He took whatever he to and he laid it all to waste
But his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of

Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into
She in through the side door lookin' like a queen without a crown
She fluttered her eyelashes and whispered in his ear
"Sorry darlin' that I'm late", but he didn't to hear
He was starin' space over at the Jack of Hearts

"I know I've seen that face before", Big Jim was to himself
"Maybe down in Mexico or a up on somebody's shelf"
But then the crowd began to stamp their
And the lights did dim
And in the darkness of the there was only Jim and him
Starin' at the butterfly who just drew the of Hearts

Lily was a princess she was fair skinned and as a child
She did she had to do she had
certain flash every time she smiled
She'd come from a broken home had lots of strange affairs
With men in every of life which took her everywhere
But she'd met anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts

The hangin' judge came in and was being wined and dined
The drillin' in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any
It was known all around that Lily had Jim's
And nothing would ever between Lily and the king
No nothin' ever would except maybe the of Hearts

Rosemary started drinkin' and seein' her reflection in the knife
She was tired of the attention tired of playin' the role of Big wife
She had done a lot of bad even once tried suicide
Was lookin' to do just one deed before she died
She was gazin' to the future on the Jack of Hearts

Lily washed her took her dress off and buried it away
"Has your run out?", she laughed at him
"Well I guess you have known it would someday
Be careful not to touch the wall there's a coat of paint
I'm to see you're still alive you're lookin' like a saint"
Down the footsteps were comin' for the Jack of Hearts

The backstage manager was pacing all around by his
"There's something funny going on" he said "I can feel it in the air"
He went to get the hangin' judge but the judge was drunk
As the leading hurried by in the costume of a monk
There was no actor better than the Jack of Hearts

Lily's arms were locked around the man that she loved to touch
She forgot all about the man she couldn't
Who her so much
"I've you so" she said to him and he felt she was sincere
But just beyond the he felt jealousy and fear
Just another night in the life of the Jack of

No one the circumstance but they say
That it happened quick
The door to the dressing room burst open and a revolver clicked
And Big Jim was standin' ya couldn't say surprised
Rosemary right him steady in her eyes
She was with Big Jim but she was to the Jack of Hearts

Two doors down the boys finally it through the wall
And cleaned out the bank safe it's said that they got off quite a haul
In the darkness by the they waited on the ground
For one more member who had business back in
But they couldn't go no further the Jack of Hearts

The next day was hangin' day the sky was and black
Big Jim lay covered up by a penknife in the back
And Rosemary on the gallows she even blink
The hangin' judge was sober he had a drink
The only on the scene missin' was the Jack of Hearts

The cabaret was now a sign said "Closed for repair"
had already taken all of the dye out of her hair
She was thinkin' 'bout her father who she very saw
Thinkin' 'bout Rosemary and about the law
But most of all she was thinkin' the Jack of Hearts
