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

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

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

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

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, down like the Jack of Hearts

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

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

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

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

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

She fluttered her false eyelashes and 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 seen that face before," Big Jim was to himself
"Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on shelf

But then the crowd began to stamp feet 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 certain flash every time she smiled

She'd come away from a broken home, had of strange affairs
men in every walk of life which took her everywhere
But she'd met anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts

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

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

Rosemary started 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, once tried suicide
Was lookin' to do just one good deed she died
She was to the future, riding on the Jack of Hearts

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

"Be careful not to touch the wall, there's a brand-new coat of
I'm to see you're 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 going on" he said
"I can just it in the air"

He went to get the hangin' judge, but the judge was drunk
As the leading actor hurried by in the of a monk
There was no actor anywhere better 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 him, steady 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 bank
It's said that they got off with a haul

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

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

And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn't blink
The hangin' was sober, he hadn't 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 thinkin' 'bout her father, who she very saw
Thinkin' 'bout Rosemary and thinkin' the law
But most of all she was thinkin' the Jack of Hearts
