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 for the drillin' in the wall

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

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

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 into the corner, face down like the Jack of Hearts

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

Outside the streets were fillin' up, the window was open
A gentle breeze was blowin', you could feel it from
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 his usual 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 bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of

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 false 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 I've 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 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 drew the of Hearts

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The manager was pacing all around by his chair
"There's something funny on" he said
"I can just it in the air"

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

No one the circumstance
But they say that it happened quick
The door to the dressing room burst open and a cold clicked

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

Two doors down, the boys made it through the wall
And cleaned out the bank
said that they got off with quite a haul

In the darkness by the riverbed they on the ground
For one more member who had back in town
But they couldn't go no further the Jack of Hearts

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

And Rosemary on the gallows, she even blink
The hangin' judge was sober, he had a drink
The only person on the scene 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 'bout her father, who she very rarely saw
Thinkin' 'bout Rosemary and thinkin' the law
But most of all she was thinkin' 'bout the Jack of
