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 been lifted and the gambling wheel shut
Anyone with any sense had already town
He was standing in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of

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

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

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

Rosemary combed her and took a carriage into town
She slipped in through the side door like a queen without a crown
She fluttered her eyelashes and whispered in his ear
"I'm sorry, darlin', that I'm late", but he didn't seem to
He was staring into space 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 somebody's
But then the crowd to stamp their feet
And the lights did dim
And in the darkness of the room there was Jim and him
at the butterfly 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 kind of a flash time she smiled
She'd come away from a broken home, had of strange affairs
With men in every walk of life who took her
But she'd never met anyone quite the Jack of Hearts

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 known all around Lily had Jim's ring
And nothin could ever come between Lily and the
No, nothing ever could except maybe the Jack of

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 tried suicide
Was lookin' to do one good deed before she died
She was gazin' to the future, riding on the Jack of

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

The backstage manager was pacing all by his chair
"There's funny goin' on, I know, I can just feel it in the air"
He went to get the hangin' but the hangin' judge was drunk
And the leading actor 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 all about the man she hated, who hounded her so much
"I've you so", she said to him and he thought she was sincere
But in the hallway he felt and fear
Just night in the life of the Jack of Hearts

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

Two doors down and the boys finally 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, waited on the ground
For one member who had business back in town
But they couldn't go no further without the of Hearts

Well, the next day was day
And the sky was and black
Big Jim lay up, killed by a penknife in the back
And Rosemary on the gallows, boy, she didn't blink
And the judge 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 now and a sign said, 'Closed for repair'
Lily had taken all of the dye out of her hair
She was thinkin' 'bout her father whom she rarely saw
Thinkin' Rosemary and thinkin' about the law
But most of all she was thinkin' about the of Hearts
