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 drilling in the
The curfew had been lifted and the gambling wheel shut
Anyone any sense had already left town
He was standing in the doorway lookin' the Jack of Hearts

He moved the mirrored room, "Set em up for everyone", he said
Then commenced to do what
They've been doin' before he their heads
He walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a
"Would you kindly tell me, Mister, what time the begins?"
He moved the corner, face 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 her pair
Outside the streets were 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 only mine
He made his usual entrance lookin' oh, so dandy and so
With his 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 were no for the Jack of Hearts

Rosemary combed her hair and 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 didn't to hear
He was staring into over at the Jack of Hearts

Well, I know I've seen that face
Big Jim was thinkin' to
Maybe down in or a picture up on somebody's shelf
But then the began to stamp their feet
And the house did dim
And in the darkness of the room there was 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 kind of a flash every time she
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 like the Jack of Hearts

The hangin' judge came in unnoticed and was being and dined
The drilling in the kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind
It was all around that Lily had Jim's ring
And nothin could ever between Lily and the king
No, ever could except maybe the Jack of Hearts

Rosemary started hard and seein' her reflection in the knife
She was tired of the attention, tired of the role of Big Jim's wife
She'd done a lot of bad things, even tried suicide
Was lookin' to do just one good before she died
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, 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 comin' for the Jack of

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

Lily had her 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 hallway he jealousy and fear
Just another night in the life of the of Hearts

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

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

Well, the day was hangin' day
And the sky was and black
Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the
And Rosemary on the gallows, boy, she didn't even
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 quiet now and a said, 'Closed for repair'
Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her
She was thinkin' 'bout her father she very rarely saw
Thinkin' Rosemary and thinkin' about the law
But of all she was thinkin' about the Jack of Hearts
