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

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

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

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

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

the girls were playin' 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 wide
A breeze was blowin', you could feel it from inside
Lily called another bet and drew up the of Hearts

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

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 no match for the Jack of Hearts

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

She fluttered her false eyelashes and in his ear
"Sorry, darlin', I'm late" but he didn't seem to hear
He was starin' into over at the Jack of Hearts

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

But then the crowd began to stamp their feet and the 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 as a child
She did she had to do
She had that flash every time she smiled

come 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 anyone quite the Jack of Hearts

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

It was known all around Lily had Jim's ring
And would ever come between Lily and the king
No, nothin' ever would except maybe the of Hearts

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

She had done a lot of bad things, even tried 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, buried it
"Has your luck run out?" she at him
"Well, I guess you must have 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 like a saint"
Down the hallway footsteps were comin' for the of Hearts

The backstage manager was pacing all by his chair
"There's something funny going on" he
"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 anywhere than the Jack of Hearts

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

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

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

In the darkness by the riverbed they on the ground
For one more member who had business back in
But they go no further without the Jack of Hearts

The next day was day, the sky was overcast and black
Big Jim lay up, killed by a penknife in the back

And Rosemary on the gallows, she even blink
The judge was sober, he hadn't had a drink
The only person on the scene missin' was the Jack of

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

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