《Lily， Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts (Live) - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)

[00:00:06] The festival was over and the boys

[00:00:21] Were all planning for a fall

[00:00:25] The cabaret was quiet except

[00:00:27] For the drilling in the wall

[00:00:32] The curfew had been lifted and

[00:00:34] The gambling wheel shut down

[00:00:37] Anyone with any sense had

[00:00:39] Already left town

[00:00:40] He was standing in the doorway

[00:00:43] Looking like the Jack of Hearts

[00:00:50] He moved across the mirrored room

[00:00:52] "Set em up for everyone" he said

[00:00:56] Then everyone commenced to do what

[00:00:59] They've been doin' before

[00:01:01] He moved their heads

[00:01:03] He walked up to a stranger

[00:01:05] And he asked him with a grin

[00:01:08] Would you kindly tell me Mister

[00:01:10] What time the show begins

[00:01:12] He moved into the corner

[00:01:14] Face down like the Jack of Hearts

[00:01:21] Backstage the girls were

[00:01:23] Playin' five-card stud by the stairs

[00:01:28] Lily had two queens and she

[00:01:30] Was hopin' for a third to match her pair

[00:01:34] Outside the streets were fillin' up

[00:01:37] And the window was open wide

[00:01:39] The gentle breeze was blowin'

[00:01:41] You could feel it from inside

[00:01:43] Lily called another bet and drew

[00:01:46] Up the Jack of Hearts

[00:01:53] Big Jim was no one's fool

[00:01:55] He owned the town's only diamond mine

[00:01:59] He made his usual entrance lookin' oh

[00:02:02] So dandy and so fine

[00:02:06] With his bodyguards and his

[00:02:08] Silver cane and every hair in place

[00:02:10] He took whatever he wanted to

[00:02:13] And he laid it all to waste

[00:02:15] But his bodyguards and his silver cane

[00:02:17] They were no match for the Jack of Hearts

[00:02:24] Rosemary combed her hair

[00:02:26] And took a carriage into town

[00:02:30] She slipped in through the side

[00:02:32] Door lookin' like a queen without a crown

[00:02:37] She fluttered her false eyelashes

[00:02:40] And whispered in his ear

[00:02:42] "I'm sorry darlin' that I'm late"

[00:02:44] But he didn't seem to hear

[00:02:46] He was staring into space

[00:02:47] Over at the Jack of Hearts

[00:02:55] Well I know I've seen that face somewhere

[00:02:58] Big Jim was thinkin' to himself

[00:03:02] Maybe down in Mexico or

[00:03:04] A picture up on somebody's shelf

[00:03:08] But then the crowd began

[00:03:10] To stamp their feet

[00:03:11] And the house lights did dim

[00:03:13] And in the darkness of the

[00:03:15] Room there was only Jim and him

[00:03:17] Starin' at the butterfly who just

[00:03:20] Drew up the Jack of Hearts

[00:03:26] Lily was a princess she was

[00:03:29] Fair-skinned and precious as a child

[00:03:33] She had that certain something

[00:03:35] It was a kind of a flash every time she smiled

[00:03:39] She'd come away from a broken home

[00:03:42] Had lots of strange affairs

[00:03:44] With men in every walk of life who

[00:03:47] Took her everywhere

[00:03:48] But she'd never met anyone quite

[00:03:51] Like the Jack of Hearts

[00:03:58] The hangin' judge came in unnoticed

[00:04:00] And was being wined and dined

[00:04:04] The drilling in the wall kept up

[00:04:07] But no one seemed to pay it any mind

[00:04:10] It was known all around that Lily had Jim's ring

[00:04:15] And nothin could ever come between Lily and the king

[00:04:20] No nothing ever could except

[00:04:22] Maybe the Jack of Hearts

[00:04:29] Rosemary started drinkin' hard

[00:04:31] And seein' her reflection in the knife

[00:04:35] She was tired of the attention

[00:04:38] Tired of playin' the role of Big Jim's wife

[00:04:42] She'd done a lot of bad things

[00:04:44] Even once tried suicide

[00:04:46] Was lookin' to do just one good

[00:04:48] Deed before she died

[00:04:50] She was gazin' to the future riding

[00:04:54] On the Jack of Hearts

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

[00:05:06] "Has your luck run out" she laughed at him

[00:05:09] "I guess you must've known it would someday

[00:05:13] Be careful not to touch the wall

[00:05:15] There's a brand-new coat of paint

[00:05:17] I'm glad to see you're still alive

[00:05:20] And you're lookin' like a saint"

[00:05:22] Down the hallway footsteps were

[00:05:24] Comin' for the Jack of Hearts

[00:05:31] The backstage manager was pacing

[00:05:34] All around by his chair

[00:05:37] "There's something funny goin' on

[00:05:39] I know I can just feel it in the air"

[00:05:44] He went to get the hangin' judge

[00:05:47] But the hangin' judge was drunk

[00:05:49] And the leading actor hurried by

[00:05:51] In the costume of a monk

[00:05:53] But there was no actor anywhere

[00:05:56] Better than the Jack of Hearts

[00:06:02] Lily had her arms around the man

[00:06:05] That she dearly loved to touch

[00:06:08] She forgot all about the man she hated

[00:06:11] Who hounded her so much

[00:06:15] "I've missed you so" she said to

[00:06:17] Him and he thought she was sincere

[00:06:20] But in the hallway he felt jealousy and fear

[00:06:24] Just another night in the life of the Jack of Hearts

[00:06:33] Well no one knew the circumstance

[00:06:35] But they say it happened pretty quick

[00:06:40] The door to the dressing room

[00:06:42] Burst open and a cold revolver clicked

[00:06:46] And Big Jim was standin' there

[00:06:49] You couldn't say surprised

[00:06:51] Rosemary right beside him

[00:06:52] Steady in her eyes

[00:06:55] She was with Big Jim but she was

[00:06:58] Leanin' to the Jack of Hearts

[00:07:04] Two doors down and the boys finally

[00:07:08] Made it through the wall

[00:07:11] Cleaned out the bank safe it's said

[00:07:14] That they got off with quite a haul

[00:07:17] And in the darkness of the riverbed

[00:07:19] They waited on the ground

[00:07:22] For one more member who had

[00:07:24] Business back in town

[00:07:26] But they couldn't go no further

[00:07:28] Without the Jack of Hearts

[00:07:35] Well the next day was hangin' day

[00:07:38] And the sky was overcast and black

[00:07:42] Big Jim lay covered up killed by a

[00:07:45] Penknife in the back

[00:07:48] And Rosemary on the gallows boy

[00:07:51] She didn't even blink

[00:07:53] And the hangin' judge was sober

[00:07:55] Lord he hadn't had a drink

[00:07:57] And the only person on the scene

[00:08:00] Missing was the Jack of Hearts

[00:08:05] Well the cabaret was quiet now and

[00:08:08] A sign said 'Closed for repair'

[00:08:13] Lily had already taken all of the

[00:08:17] Dye out of her hair

[00:08:19] She was thinkin' 'bout her father

[00:08:22] Whom she very rarely saw

[00:08:24] Thinkin' about Rosemary and

[00:08:27] Thinkin' about the law

[00:08:28] But most of all she was thinkin' about

[00:08:32] The Jack of Hearts
