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

The festival was over and the boys were all planning for a
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 lookin' like the Jack of

He moved across the mirrored room, "Set em up for everyone", he
everyone commenced to do what
They've doin' before he moved their heads
He walked up to a stranger and he asked him a grin
"Would you tell me, Mister, what time the show begins?"
He into 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 fillin' up and the was open wide
The gentle breeze was blowin', you could feel it from
Lily another 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
With his bodyguards and his silver cane and hair in place
He took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to
But his bodyguards and his silver
They were no for the Jack of Hearts

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

Well, I know I've seen face somewhere
Big Jim was to himself
down in Mexico or a picture up on somebody's shelf
But then the crowd began to stamp their
And the house did dim
And in the darkness of the room was only Jim and him
Starin' at the butterfly who just drew up the Jack of

Lily was a princess, she was and precious as a child
She had that certain
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 of life who took her everywhere
But she'd never met anyone like the Jack of Hearts

The judge 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 ring
And nothin could ever come between Lily and the
No, nothing ever could except the Jack of Hearts

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
She'd done a lot of bad things, even once suicide
Was to do just 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 run out", she laughed at him
"I guess you must've it would someday
Be careful not to touch the wall, a brand-new coat of paint
I'm glad to see still alive and you're lookin' like a saint"
Down the hallway footsteps were for the Jack of Hearts

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

Lily had her arms the man that she dearly loved to touch
She forgot all about the man she hated, who hounded her so
"I've missed you so", she said to him and he thought she was
But in the hallway he felt jealousy and
Just another in the life of the Jack of Hearts

Well, no one the circumstance
But they say it pretty quick
The door to the dressing room burst open and a 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 boys finally made it through the
out the bank 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 more who had business back in town
But they couldn't go no further without the Jack of

Well, the next day was day
And the sky was and black
Big Jim lay covered up, by a penknife in the back
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 missing was the of Hearts

Well, the was quiet now and a sign said, 'Closed for repair'
Lily had already 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' the Jack of Hearts
