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 drillin' in the

The had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down
with any sense had already left town
He was standin' in the doorway lookin' 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 their

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

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

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

Big Jim was no one's fool, he owned the town's only diamond
He made his usual entrance lookin' so 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 were no match for the Jack of Hearts

Rosemary her hair and took a carriage into town
She slipped in through the side door like a queen without a crown

She her false 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 seen that 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 there was Jim and him
at the butterfly who just 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

She'd come away from a broken home, had lots of strange
With men in every walk of life took her everywhere
But she'd met anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts

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

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

started drinkin' 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, once tried suicide
Was lookin' to do 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 luck run out?" she laughed at him
"Well, I guess you must have known it someday"

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

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

He went to get the judge, but the hangin' judge was drunk
As the leading actor by in the costume of a monk
There was no actor 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 revolver clicked

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

Two doors down, the boys made it through the wall
And cleaned out the bank
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 couldn't go no further without the Jack of Hearts

The next day was day, the sky was overcast and black
Big Jim lay covered up, by a penknife in the back

And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn't blink
The hangin' judge was sober, he hadn't had a
The only person on the scene was the Jack of Hearts

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
Thinkin' 'bout and thinkin' about the law
But most of all she was thinkin' 'bout the of Hearts
