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

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

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

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

Rosemary combed her and took a carriage into town
She slipped in through the door lookin' 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 space over at the Jack of Hearts

Well, I I've seen that face somewhere
Big Jim was to himself
Maybe in Mexico or a picture up on somebody's shelf
But then the crowd began to their feet
And the house did dim
And in the of the room there 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 precious as a
She had certain something
It was a kind of a every time she smiled
She'd come away from a broken home, had lots of affairs
With men in every walk of life who took her
But she'd never met anyone quite like the Jack of

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

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

took her dress off, buried it away
"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 glad to see you're still alive and you're lookin' a saint"
Down the footsteps were comin' for the Jack of Hearts

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

Lily had her arms around the man that she dearly 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 of the Jack of Hearts

Well, no one the circumstance
But say it happened pretty quick
The to the dressing 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 to the Jack of Hearts

Two doors and the boys 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 on the ground
For one more member who had back in town
But they couldn't go no further without the 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 blink
And the hangin' judge was sober, Lord, he hadn't had a
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 already taken all of the dye out of her
She was thinkin' 'bout her whom she very rarely saw
about Rosemary and thinkin' about the law
But most of all she was thinkin' about the Jack of
