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

The festival was over and the boys all planning for a fall
The cabaret was except for the drilling in the wall
The had been lifted and the gambling wheel shut down
with any sense had already left town
He was standing in the doorway like the Jack of Hearts

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

the girls were playin' five-card stud by the stairs
Lily had two and she was hopin' for a third to match her pair
Outside the streets were up and the window was open wide
The breeze was blowin', you could feel it from inside
Lily called 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
his bodyguards and his silver cane and every hair in place
He took he wanted to and he laid it all to waste
But his bodyguards and his cane
They no match for the Jack 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 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 I've seen face somewhere
Big Jim was thinkin' to
Maybe down in or a picture up on somebody's shelf
But the crowd began to stamp their feet
And the house did dim
And in the darkness of the there was only Jim and him
Starin' at the butterfly who just up the Jack of Hearts

Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and as a child
She had certain something
It was a kind of a every time she smiled
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 of Hearts

The hangin' came in unnoticed and was being wined and dined
The in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind
It was known all that Lily had Jim's ring
And could ever come between Lily 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, of playin' the role of Big Jim's wife
done 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 luck run out", she at him
"I guess you known it would someday
Be careful not to touch the wall, a brand-new coat of paint
I'm to see you're still alive and you're lookin' like a saint"
Down the hallway footsteps were comin' for the of Hearts

The backstage manager was pacing all by his chair
"There's something funny 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 hurried by in the of a monk
But there was no actor anywhere than the Jack of Hearts

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

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

Two doors down and the finally made it through the wall
Cleaned out the bank safe, it's said that got off with quite a haul
And in the darkness of the riverbed, they waited on the
For one more member who had business 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, killed by a in the back
And Rosemary on the gallows, boy, she didn't blink
And the hangin' judge was sober, Lord, he had a drink
And the only person on the scene missing was the Jack of

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 'bout her father whom she very rarely saw
Thinkin' Rosemary and thinkin' about the law
But most of all she was thinkin' about the of Hearts
