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

The was over and the boys were all planning for a fall
The cabaret was quiet for the drilling in the wall
The had been lifted and the gambling wheel shut down
Anyone any sense had already left town
He was standing in the doorway lookin' like the of Hearts

He moved the mirrored room, "Set em up for everyone", he said
everyone commenced to do what
They've been doin' before he moved heads
He up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin
"Would you kindly tell me, Mister, what the show begins?"
He moved into the corner, face down the Jack of Hearts

Backstage the girls were five-card stud by the stairs
had two queens and she was hopin' for a third to match her pair
Outside the were fillin' up and the window was open wide
The gentle breeze was blowin', you could feel it inside
Lily called another bet and drew up the of Hearts

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

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

Well, I know seen that face somewhere
Big Jim was to himself
Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on shelf
But then the began to stamp their feet
And the lights did dim
And in the darkness of the room was only Jim and him
Starin' at the butterfly who drew up the Jack of Hearts

Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and as a child
She had that certain
It was a kind of a flash every time she
She'd come away from a home, had lots of strange affairs
With men in every walk of life who 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 drilling in the kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind
It was all around that Lily had Jim's ring
And nothin could ever come between and the king
No, nothing ever could 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'd done a lot of bad things, even tried suicide
Was lookin' to do just one good before she died
She was gazin' to the future, riding on the Jack of

took her dress off, buried it away
"Has your luck run out", she at him
"I guess you must've known it would
Be not to touch the wall, there's a brand-new coat of paint
I'm glad to see you're alive and you're lookin' like a saint"
Down the hallway were comin' for the Jack of Hearts

The backstage manager was all around by his chair
"There's something funny goin' on, I know, I can feel it in the air"
He went to get the hangin' judge but the judge was drunk
And the actor hurried by in the costume of a monk
But there was no anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts

Lily had her arms around the man she dearly loved to touch
She forgot all the man she hated, who hounded her so much
"I've missed you so", she said to him and he thought she was
But in the he felt jealousy and fear
Just another night in the of the Jack of Hearts

Well, no one knew the
But they say it pretty quick
The door to the dressing room burst open and a cold clicked
And Big Jim was standin' there, you say surprised
Rosemary right him, steady in her eyes
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the of Hearts

Two down and the boys finally made it through the wall
Cleaned out the bank safe, it's said that they got off quite a haul
And in the darkness of the riverbed, they waited on the
For one more who had business back in town
But they couldn't go no further the Jack of Hearts

Well, the next day was day
And the sky was overcast and
Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a in the back
And Rosemary on the gallows, boy, she didn't blink
And the hangin' judge was sober, Lord, he hadn't had a
And the only person on the scene missing was the of Hearts

Well, the cabaret was quiet now and a sign said, for repair'
Lily had already all of the dye out of her hair
She was 'bout her father whom she very rarely saw
Thinkin' about Rosemary and about the law
But of all she was thinkin' about the Jack of Hearts
