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

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

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

He across the mirrored room, "Set it up for everyone" he said
Then commenced to do what 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 into the corner, face down the Jack of Hearts

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

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

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

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

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 over at the Jack of

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

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

Lily was a princess, she was and precious as a child
She did she had to do
She had that certain flash every time she

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

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

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

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

She had done a lot of bad things, even once tried
Was to do just one good deed before she died
She was to the future, riding on the Jack of Hearts

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

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

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

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

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

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 Jack of

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

In the darkness by the riverbed waited on the ground
For one more member who had business 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 cabaret was now, a sign said, "Closed for repair"
Lily had taken all of the dye out of her hair

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