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 quiet for the drillin' in the wall

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

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

Then he walked up to a stranger and he asked him a grin
"Could you kindly tell me, friend, what the show begins?"
Then he moved into the corner, face down like the 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 breeze was blowin', you could feel it from inside
Lily called another bet and drew up the of Hearts

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

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

Rosemary combed her hair and a carriage into town
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 didn't seem to
He was starin' into space at the Jack of Hearts

"I know I've that 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 fair-skinned and precious as a
She did she had to do
She had that flash every time she smiled

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

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' would except maybe the Jack of Hearts

started drinkin' hard 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, even once suicide
Was lookin' to do one good deed before she died
She was gazin' to the future, riding on the Jack of

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

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

The backstage manager was pacing all around by his
"There's something going on" he said
"I can just 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 actor anywhere better the Jack of Hearts

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

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

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

In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the
For one more member who had business back in
But they 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 even
The hangin' was sober, he hadn't had a drink
The only person on the scene missin' was the Jack of

The was empty 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
'bout Rosemary and thinkin' about the law
But most of all she was thinkin' 'bout the of Hearts
