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

The festival was 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 wheel shut down
with any sense had already left town
He was standin' in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of

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

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

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

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

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

With his and silver cane and every hair in place
He took whatever he wanted to and he it all to waste
But his bodyguards and cane were no match 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 fluttered her 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 seen that face before," Big Jim was thinkin' to himself
"Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on somebody's

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

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

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

The hangin' judge came in unnoticed and was being and dined
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 come Lily and the king
No, nothin' ever would except maybe the 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 once suicide
Was lookin' to do one good deed before she died
She was gazin' to the future, riding on the Jack of

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

"Be careful not to touch the wall, a brand-new 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 all around by his chair
"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 the circumstance
But say that it happened 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 him, steady in her eyes
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of

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

In the by the riverbed they waited on the ground
For one more who had business 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 up, killed 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 missin' was the Jack of Hearts

The cabaret was empty now, a said, "Closed for repair"
Lily had taken all of the dye out of her hair

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