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

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

The had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down
Anyone with any sense had already town
He was standin' in the doorway lookin' like the of Hearts

He moved across the room, "Set it up for everyone" he said
Then commenced 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, what time the begins?"
Then he moved into the corner, face down like the of Hearts

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

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

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

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

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

She her false 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 of Hearts

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

But then the crowd began to stamp their and the house lights did dim
And in the darkness of the room 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 every time she smiled

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

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

It was known all around Lily had Jim's ring
And nothing would ever come Lily and the king
No, nothin' ever would except maybe the 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, even once suicide
Was lookin' to do just one good before she died
She was gazin' to the future, on the Jack of Hearts

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

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

The backstage manager was pacing all by his chair
"There's something 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 hurried by in the of a monk
There was no actor better than the Jack of Hearts

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

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

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

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

And Rosemary on the gallows, she even 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 now, a sign said, "Closed for repair"
had already taken all of the dye out of her hair

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