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 and the gamblin' wheel shut down
Anyone with any sense had already left
He was standin' in the doorway lookin' the Jack of Hearts

He moved the mirrored room, "Set it up for everyone" he said
Then everyone commenced to do what they were
Before he turned their

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

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

Outside the streets were fillin' up, the 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 one's fool, he owned the town's only diamond
He made his usual entrance so dandy and so fine

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

Rosemary combed her and took a carriage 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 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 shelf

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

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

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

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

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

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 tried suicide
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, 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, there's a brand-new 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 backstage 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 hurried 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 door to the dressing room burst open and a cold revolver

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

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

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

The next day was hangin' day, the sky was overcast and
Big Jim lay covered up, 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 person on the scene missin' was the Jack of Hearts

The cabaret was empty now, a 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
Thinkin' 'bout Rosemary and about the law
But most of all she was 'bout the Jack of Hearts
