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 in the wall

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

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

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

Backstage the girls were playin' stud by the stairs
had two queens, she was hopin' for a third to match her pair

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

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

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

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

She fluttered her eyelashes 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 up on somebody's shelf

But then the 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 of Hearts

Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a
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 of life which took her everywhere
But she'd never met anyone like the Jack of Hearts

The judge came in unnoticed and was being wined and dined
The in the wall 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, nothin' ever would maybe the Jack of Hearts

Rosemary started 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 tried suicide
Was to do just one good deed before she died
She was to the future, riding on the Jack of Hearts

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

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

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

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

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

And Big Jim was standin' there, ya couldn't say
Rosemary right him, steady in her eyes
She was Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts

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

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

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

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 Jack of

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

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