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

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

The curfew had been lifted and the wheel shut down
Anyone with any had already left town
He was standin' in the lookin' like 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 their

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But then the crowd began to stamp their feet and the house 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 flash every time she smiled

come away from a broken home, had lots of strange affairs
With men in every walk of life which took her
But she'd met anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts

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

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

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

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

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

"Be careful not to touch the wall, there's a coat 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 was pacing all around by his chair
"There's something funny 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 hurried by in the costume of a
was no actor anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts

No one the circumstance
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 couldn't say
Rosemary right him, steady in her eyes
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the of Hearts

Two doors down, the boys made it through the wall
And cleaned out the bank
It's that they got off with quite a haul

In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the
For one more who had business back in town
But they couldn't go no further the Jack of Hearts

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

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

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

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