Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts

[00:00:00] Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)

[00:00:36] The festival was over and the boys were all planning for a fall

[00:00:43] The cabaret was quiet except for the drilling in the wall

[00:00:51] The curfew had been lifted and the gambling wheel shut down

[00:00:55] Anyone with any sense had already left town

[00:00:59] He was standing in the doorway looking like the Jack of Hearts

[00:01:07] He moved across the mirrored room "Set it up for everyone" he said

[00:01:15] Then everyone commenced to do what they were doin' before he turned their heads

[00:01:22] Then he walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin

[00:01:26] "Could you kindly tell me friend what time the show begins "

[00:01:30] Then he moved into the corner face down like the Jack of Hearts

[00:01:38] Backstage the girls were playing five card stud by the stairs

[00:01:46] Lily had two queens she was hoping for a third to match her pair

[00:01:53] Outside the streets were filling up the window was open wide

[00:01:57] A gentle breeze was blowing you could feel it from inside

[00:02:01] Lily called another bet and drew up the Jack of Hearts

[00:02:09] Big Jim was no one's fool he owned the town's only diamond mine

[00:02:16] He made his usual entrance looking so dandy and so fine

[00:02:24] With his bodyguards and silver cane and every hair in place

[00:02:28] He took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to waste

[00:02:31] But his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of Hearts

[00:02:39] Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into town

[00:02:47] She slipped in through the side door looking like a queen without a crown

[00:02:55] She fluttered her false eyelashes and whispered in his ear

[00:02:59] "Sorry darling that I'm late" but he didn't seem to hear

[00:03:02] He was staring into space over at the Jack of Hearts

[00:03:10] "I know I've seen that face somewhere" Big Jim was thinking to himself

[00:03:18] "Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on somebody's shelf"

[00:03:25] But then the crowd began to stamp their feet and the house lights did dim

[00:03:29] And in the darkness of the room there was only Jim and him

[00:03:33] Staring at the butterfly who just drew the Jack of Hearts

[00:03:41] Lily was a princess she was fair-skinned and precious as a child

[00:03:49] She did whatever she had to do she had that certain flash every time she smiled

[00:03:56] She'd come away from a broken home had lots of strange affairs

[00:04:00] With men in every walk of life which took her everywhere

[00:04:03] But she'd never met anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts

[00:04:12] The hanging judge came in unnoticed and was being wined and dined

[00:04:19] The drilling in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind

[00:04:26] It was known all around that Lily had Jim's ring

[00:04:30] And nothing would ever come between Lily and the king

[00:04:34] No nothing ever would except maybe the Jack of Hearts

[00:04:42] Rosemary started drinking hard and seeing her reflection in the knife

[00:04:49] She was tired of the attention tired of playing the role of Big Jim's wife

[00:04:57] She had done a lot of bad things even once tried suicide

[00:05:01] Was looking to do just one good deed before she died

[00:05:04] She was gazing to the future riding on the Jack of Hearts

[00:05:12] Lily took her dress off and buried it away

[00:05:19] "Has your luck run out " she laughed at him

[00:05:21] "Well I guess you must have known it would someday

[00:05:27] Be careful not to touch the wall there's a brand new coat of paint

[00:05:31] I'm glad to see you're still alive you're looking like a saint"

[00:05:34] Down the hallway footsteps were coming for the Jack of Hearts

[00:05:42] The backstage manager was pacing all around by his chair

[00:05:50] "There's something funny going on" he said " I can just feel it in the air"

[00:05:57] He went to get the hanging judge but the hanging judge was drunk

[00:06:00] As the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk

[00:06:04] There was no actor anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts

[00:06:12] No one knew the circumstance but they say it happened pretty quick

[00:06:19] The door to the dressing room burst open a Colt revolver clicked

[00:06:27] And big Jim was standing there you couldn't say surprised

[00:06:30] Rosemary right beside him studying her eyes

[00:06:34] She was with big Jim but she was leaning to the Jack of Hearts

[00:06:42] Two doors down the boys finally made it through the wall

[00:06:49] And cleaned out the bank safe it's said that they got off with quite a haul

[00:06:56] In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the ground

[00:07:00] For one more member who had business back in town

[00:07:04] But they couldn't go no further without the Jack of Hearts

[00:07:12] The next day was hanging day the sky was overcast and black

[00:07:19] Big Jim lay covered up killed by a penknife in the back

[00:07:26] And Rosemary on the gallows she didn't even blink

[00:07:30] The hanging judge was sober he hadn't had a drink

[00:07:34] The only person on the scene missing was the Jack of Hearts

[00:07:41] The cabaret was empty now a sign said "Closed for repair"

[00:07:49] Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair

[00:07:56] She was thinking about her father who she very rarely saw

[00:08:00] Thinking about Rosemary and thinking about the law

[00:08:04] But most of all she was thinking about the Jack of Hearts
