Luyện nghe bài hát Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts

The festival was over and the boys all plannin' for a fall
The was quiet except for the drillin' in the wall

The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin' shut down
Anyone with any sense had 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
everyone commenced to do what they were doin'
Before he turned heads

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

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

the streets were fillin' up, the window was open wide
A gentle breeze was blowin', you could 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 diamond mine
He made his usual entrance lookin' so and so fine

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

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

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

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

But then the began to stamp their 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

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

She'd come 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 like the Jack of Hearts

The hangin' judge came in unnoticed and was being and dined
The drillin' in the wall kept up but no one 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 except the Jack of Hearts

Rosemary started drinkin' hard and her reflection in the knife
She was tired of the attention, tired of the role of Big Jim's wife

She had a lot of bad things, even once tried suicide
Was lookin' to do one good deed before she died
She was gazin' to the future, riding on the Jack of

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the by the riverbed they waited on the ground
For one member who had business back in town
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 up, killed by a penknife in the back

And on the gallows, she didn't even blink
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 'bout her father, who she very rarely saw
Thinkin' Rosemary and thinkin' about the law
But of all she was thinkin' 'bout the Jack of Hearts
