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 in the wall

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

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

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

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

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

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

With his and silver 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 hair and took a carriage into
She in through 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 didn't seem to
He was into space over at the Jack of Hearts

"I know I've seen face before," Big Jim was thinkin' to himself
"Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on 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 fair-skinned and precious as a
She did she had to do
She had that certain every time she smiled

She'd away from a broken home, had lots of strange affairs
With men in every walk of life took her everywhere
But she'd never met quite 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 all around that Lily had Jim's ring
And nothing would ever come Lily and the king
No, nothin' ever would except the Jack of Hearts

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

She had a lot of bad things, even 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 your run out?" she laughed at him
"Well, I guess you must have known it someday"

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

The backstage manager was pacing all around by his
"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 actor hurried by in the costume of a monk
There was no actor better than the Jack of Hearts

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

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

Two doors down, the finally made it through the wall
And cleaned out the safe
It's that they got off with quite a haul

In the darkness by the they waited on the ground
For one more who had business back 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, killed by a 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 was empty now, a sign 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 'bout the Jack of Hearts
