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

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

The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin' shut down
Anyone with any had already left 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 their heads

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

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

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

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

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

Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into
She slipped in through the side door lookin' like a queen a crown

She fluttered her false and whispered in his ear
"Sorry, darlin', that I'm late" but he seem to hear
He was into space over at the Jack of Hearts

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

But the crowd 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 the Jack of Hearts

Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and as a child
She did she had to do
She had that certain flash every time she

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

Rosemary started drinkin' and seein' her reflection in the knife
She was tired of the attention, tired of playin' the role of Big wife

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

Lily her dress off, buried 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, there's a coat of paint
I'm glad to see still alive, you're lookin' like a saint"
Down the hallway footsteps were comin' for the of Hearts

The backstage manager was all around by his chair
"There's something going on" he said
"I can feel 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 that it pretty quick
The door to the dressing room open and a cold revolver clicked

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

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

In the darkness by the riverbed waited on the ground
For one more member who had back in town
But they 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 on the scene missin' was the Jack of Hearts

The was empty now, a sign said, "Closed for repair"
Lily had 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 of all she was thinkin' 'bout the Jack of Hearts
