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

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

The curfew had been 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 the mirrored room, "Set it up for everyone" he said
Then everyone commenced to do they were doin'
Before he their heads

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

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

Outside the were fillin' up, the window was open wide
A gentle breeze was blowin', you could it from inside
called 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 entrance lookin' so dandy and so fine

With his and silver cane and every hair in place
He whatever 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 hair and took a carriage town
She slipped in through the door lookin' like a queen without a crown

She fluttered her eyelashes and whispered in his ear
"Sorry, darlin', I'm late" but he didn't seem to hear
He was starin' into space at the Jack of Hearts

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

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

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

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

The hangin' judge came in unnoticed and was being and dined
The in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind

It was all around that Lily had Jim's ring
And nothing would ever come Lily and the king
No, nothin' ever except maybe the Jack of Hearts

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

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

"Be careful not to touch the wall, there's a brand-new of paint
I'm glad to see you're still alive, 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 going on" he said
"I can just it in the air"

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

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

And Big Jim was standin' there, ya say surprised
Rosemary beside him, steady in her eyes
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the of Hearts

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

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

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

And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn't blink
The judge was sober, he hadn't had a drink
The only person on the scene missin' was the 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 'bout her father, who she very rarely saw
'bout Rosemary and thinkin' about the law
But most of all she was thinkin' 'bout the Jack of
