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 quiet except for the drillin' in the

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

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

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

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

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

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

With his bodyguards and silver cane and every 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 the side door lookin' like a queen without a crown

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

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

But then the crowd began to stamp feet and the house lights did dim
And in the darkness of the room there was 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 every she smiled

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

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

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

Rosemary started drinkin' hard and 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 lookin' to do just one good deed before she
She was gazin' to the future, riding on the Jack of

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the by the riverbed they waited on the ground
For one more member who had business back in
But couldn't go no further without 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 didn't blink
The hangin' was sober, he hadn't had a drink
The only person on the scene missin' was the of Hearts

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

She was 'bout 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
