Luyện nghe bài hát Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts

The festival was and the boys were all plannin' for a fall
The cabaret was except for the drillin' in the wall

The curfew had lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down
Anyone with any sense had already left
He was standin' in the doorway lookin' the Jack of Hearts

He moved across the mirrored room, "Set it up for everyone" he
Then everyone commenced to do what they were
Before he turned heads

Then he walked up to a stranger and he him with a grin
"Could you kindly tell me, friend, what time the begins?"
he moved into the corner, face down like the Jack of Hearts

Backstage the were playin' five-card stud by the stairs
Lily had two queens, she was hopin' for a third to match her

Outside the streets were fillin' up, the window was open
A breeze was blowin', you could feel it from inside
called another bet and drew up the Jack of Hearts

Big Jim was no fool, he owned the town's only diamond mine
He made his entrance lookin' so dandy and so fine

With his bodyguards and silver cane and hair in place
He took he wanted to and he laid it all to waste
But his and silver cane were no match for the Jack of Hearts

Rosemary combed her and took a carriage into town
She slipped in through the side lookin' like a queen without a crown

She fluttered her false eyelashes and in his ear
"Sorry, darlin', that I'm late" but he seem to hear
He was starin' into space over at the Jack of

"I know I've that face before," Big Jim was thinkin' to himself
"Maybe in Mexico or a picture up on somebody's shelf

But then the crowd to stamp their feet and the house lights did dim
And in the darkness of the there was only Jim and him
Starin' at the butterfly who drew the Jack of Hearts

was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a child
She did she had to do
She had that certain flash every she smiled

She'd come away from a broken home, had lots of strange
With men in every walk of which took her everywhere
But she'd never met quite like the Jack of Hearts

The hangin' judge came in 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 around that had Jim's ring
And would ever come between Lily and the king
No, nothin' ever would except the Jack of Hearts

started drinkin' hard and seein' her reflection in the knife
She was tired of the attention, of playin' the role of Big Jim's wife

She had done a lot of bad things, even tried suicide
Was lookin' to do just one good deed she died
She was gazin' to the future, riding on the Jack of

took her dress off, buried it away
"Has your luck run out?" she at him
"Well, I guess you must known it would someday"

"Be careful not to touch the wall, there's a brand-new coat of
I'm glad to see still alive, you're lookin' like a saint"
Down the hallway footsteps were for the Jack of Hearts

The backstage manager was pacing all by his chair
"There's something going on" he said
"I can feel it in the air"

He went to get the hangin' judge, but the hangin' was drunk
As the actor hurried by in the costume of a monk
There was no anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts

No one the circumstance
But they say it happened pretty quick
The to the dressing room burst open and a cold revolver clicked

And Big Jim was standin' there, ya couldn't say
Rosemary right beside him, steady in her
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the of Hearts

Two doors down, the boys finally it through the wall
And cleaned out the safe
It's said they got off with quite a haul

In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the
For one more member who had business back in
But they couldn't go no further without the Jack of

The day was hangin' day, the sky was overcast and black
Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the

And Rosemary on the gallows, she even blink
The hangin' was sober, he hadn't had a drink
The only on the scene missin' was the Jack of Hearts

The cabaret was now, a sign said, "Closed for repair"
Lily had already all of the dye out of her hair

She was thinkin' her father, who she very rarely saw
Thinkin' 'bout and thinkin' about the law
But most of all she was 'bout the Jack of Hearts
