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

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

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

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

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

Rosemary combed her hair and a carriage into town
She slipped in the side door lookin' like a queen without a crown
She fluttered her false eyelashes and in his ear
"Sorry darlin' that I'm late", but he seem to hear
He was starin' space over at the Jack of Hearts

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

Lily was a princess she was fair skinned and precious as a
She did she had to do she had
That certain every time she smiled
She'd come from a broken home had lots of strange affairs
With men in every walk of life took her everywhere
But she'd never met anyone quite like the Jack of

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

Rosemary drinkin' hard and seein' her reflection in the knife
She was tired of the attention tired of the role of Big Jim's wife
She had a lot of bad things even once tried suicide
Was to do just one good deed before she died
She was gazin' to the future riding on the of Hearts

Lily washed her face her dress off and buried it away
"Has your luck run out?", she at him
"Well I guess you must have it would someday
Be careful not to touch the wall there's a brand-new of paint
I'm glad to see you're still alive you're lookin' a saint"
Down the hallway footsteps were for the Jack of Hearts

The manager was pacing all around by his chair
"There's something funny going on" he "I can just 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 anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts

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

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

Two doors down the boys finally made it the wall
And cleaned out the bank safe it's said that they got off quite a haul
In the by the riverbed they waited on the ground
For one more member who had business in town
But they couldn't go no further without the of Hearts

The day was hangin' day the sky was overcast and black
Big Jim lay covered up killed by a in the back
And Rosemary on the gallows she even blink
The hangin' judge was he hadn't had a drink
The only on the scene missin' was the Jack of Hearts

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