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 except for the in the wall

The curfew had been and the gamblin' wheel shut down
Anyone any sense had already left town
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 commenced to do what were doin'
Before he their heads

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

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

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

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 took whatever he 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 in through the side door lookin' like a queen without a crown

She fluttered her false eyelashes and in his ear
"Sorry, darlin', that I'm late" but he 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 in Mexico or a picture 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 there was Jim and him
Starin' at the who just drew the Jack of Hearts

Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a
She did she had to do
She had certain flash every time she smiled

come away from a broken home, had lots of strange affairs
With men in every walk of life took her everywhere
But she'd never met anyone quite like the 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 between Lily and the king
No, nothin' ever would except 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 just one good deed before she
She was to the future, riding on the Jack of Hearts

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

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

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

He went to get the hangin' judge, but the hangin' was drunk
As the leading actor hurried by in the of a monk
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 room burst open and a cold clicked

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

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

In the darkness by the riverbed waited on the ground
For one more member who had business back in
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 up, killed by a penknife 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 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' 'bout her father, who she rarely saw
Thinkin' 'bout Rosemary and about the law
But of all she was thinkin' 'bout the Jack of Hearts
