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 except for the drilling in the wall
The curfew had lifted and the gambling wheel shut down
Anyone with any sense had already town
He was standing in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of

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

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

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

combed her hair and took 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
"I'm sorry, darlin', I'm late", but he didn't seem to hear
He was staring into space at the Jack of Hearts

Well, I I've seen that face somewhere
Big Jim was thinkin' to
Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on shelf
But the crowd began to stamp their feet
And the house did dim
And in the of the room there was only Jim and him
at the butterfly who just drew up the Jack of Hearts

Lily was a princess, she was and precious as a child
She had that certain
It was a of a flash every time she smiled
She'd come from a broken home, had lots of strange affairs
With men in every of life who took her everywhere
But she'd never met anyone quite like the Jack of

The hangin' judge came in unnoticed and was being wined and
The drilling in the wall up but no one seemed to pay it any mind
It was known all around Lily had Jim's ring
And nothin could ever between Lily and the king
No, nothing ever could except maybe the Jack of

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

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

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

Lily had her around the man that she dearly loved to touch
She forgot all about the man she hated, who her so much
"I've missed you so", she said to him and he she was sincere
But in the hallway he felt jealousy and
Just another night in the life of the Jack of

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

Two doors down and the boys finally it through the wall
Cleaned out the bank safe, it's that they got off with quite a haul
And in the darkness of the riverbed, they on the ground
For one more member who had business back in
But couldn't go no further without the Jack of Hearts

Well, the next day was day
And the sky was and black
Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the
And Rosemary on the gallows, boy, she didn't even
And the hangin' was sober, Lord, he hadn't had a drink
And the only on the scene missing was the Jack of Hearts

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