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

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

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

Big Jim was no one's fool, he owned the town's only diamond
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 to and he laid it all to waste
But his and his silver cane
They were no match for the of Hearts

Rosemary her hair and took a carriage into town
She slipped in through the side door lookin' a queen without a crown
She fluttered her false 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 that face somewhere
Big Jim was to himself
Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on shelf
But then the crowd began to stamp feet
And the house did dim
And in the darkness of the there was only Jim and him
Starin' at the butterfly who just drew up the Jack of

Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a
She had that something
It was a of a flash every time she smiled
She'd come from a broken home, had lots of strange affairs
men in every walk of life who took her everywhere
But she'd never met anyone quite the Jack of Hearts

The hangin' judge came in and was being wined 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, nothing ever could except the Jack of Hearts

started drinkin' 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, once tried suicide
Was lookin' to do just one good deed before she
She was to the future, riding 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, there's a coat of paint
I'm glad to see still alive and you're lookin' like a saint"
the hallway footsteps were comin' for the Jack of Hearts

The manager was pacing 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 judge was drunk
And the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a
But was no actor anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts

Lily had her arms the man that she dearly loved to touch
She all about 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 jealousy and fear
another night 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 cold revolver
And Big Jim was there, you couldn't say surprised
Rosemary right beside him, 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 with a haul
And in the of the riverbed, they waited on the ground
For one member who had business back in town
But they couldn't go no further the Jack of Hearts

Well, the next day was day
And the sky was and black
Big Jim lay covered up, by a penknife in the back
And on the gallows, boy, she didn't even blink
And the hangin' was sober, Lord, he hadn't had a drink
And the only person on the scene was the Jack of Hearts

Well, the cabaret was now and a sign said, 'Closed for repair'
Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her
She was 'bout her father whom she very rarely saw
Thinkin' about Rosemary and thinkin' the law
But of all she was thinkin' about the Jack of Hearts
