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 lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut
Anyone any sense had already left 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 everyone commenced to do what were doin'
Before he turned heads

he walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin
"Could you kindly tell me, friend, time the show 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 third to match her

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 Jack of

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

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

Rosemary combed her and took a carriage into town
She in through the side 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 didn't to hear
He was starin' space over at the Jack of Hearts

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

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

was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a child
She did she had to do
She had that flash every 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 never met anyone like the Jack of Hearts

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

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

Rosemary 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 tried suicide
Was to do just one good deed before she died
She was gazin' to the future, riding on the of Hearts

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

"Be careful not to touch the wall, there's a coat of paint
I'm glad to see still alive, you're lookin' 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 on" he said
"I can just it in the air"

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

No one knew the
But they say it happened pretty quick
The door to the dressing room burst and a cold revolver clicked

And Big Jim was standin' there, ya say surprised
Rosemary right 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 the wall
And out the bank safe
It's said that got off with quite a haul

In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the
For one more member who had back in town
But they go no further without the Jack of Hearts

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

And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn't blink
The hangin' judge was sober, he had a drink
The person on the scene missin' 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 'bout her father, who she very rarely saw
Thinkin' 'bout Rosemary and about the law
But most of all she was thinkin' the Jack of Hearts
