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

The festival was 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 had already left town
He was in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of Hearts

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

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

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

Rosemary her hair and took a carriage into town
She slipped in through the side door lookin' like a without a crown
She fluttered her eyelashes and whispered in his ear
"I'm sorry, darlin', that I'm late", but he seem 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 or a picture up on somebody's shelf
But the crowd 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 who just drew up the Jack of Hearts

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

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

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

Lily took her dress off, it away
"Has your run out", she laughed at him
"I guess you must've known it someday
Be careful not to touch the wall, a brand-new coat of paint
I'm glad to see you're still alive and 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 goin' on, I know, I can just feel it in the air"
He went to get the hangin' judge but the hangin' judge was
And the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a
But there was no actor anywhere better than the of Hearts

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

Well, no one the circumstance
But they say it pretty quick
The to the dressing room burst open and a cold revolver clicked
And Big Jim was standin' there, you couldn't say
Rosemary beside him, steady in her eyes
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the of Hearts

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

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

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