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 quiet 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 standing in the doorway lookin' like the of Hearts

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

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

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 in place
He whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to waste
But his and his silver cane
They no match for the Jack of Hearts

combed her hair and took a carriage into town
She slipped in through the side door lookin' like a queen a crown
She fluttered her false eyelashes and in his ear
"I'm sorry, darlin', that I'm late", but he seem to hear
He was staring into space over at the 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 then the crowd began to stamp their
And the house did dim
And in the of the room there 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 precious as a
She had that certain
It was a kind of a flash every time she
She'd come from a broken home, had lots of strange affairs
men in every walk of life who took her everywhere
But she'd never met anyone quite like the of Hearts

The hangin' judge 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 known all around Lily had Jim's ring
And nothin could ever between Lily and the king
No, nothing ever except maybe the Jack of Hearts

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

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

The backstage manager was pacing all 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 hangin' judge was
And the actor hurried by in the costume of a monk
But there was no actor anywhere than the Jack of Hearts

had her arms 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 to him and he thought she was sincere
But in the he felt jealousy and fear
Just another night in the life of the of Hearts

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

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

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

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