《Lily Rosemary And The Jack Of He》歌词

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

[00:00:18] The festival was over

[00:00:20] And the boys were all plannin' for a fall

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

[00:00:28] The drillin' in the wall

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

[00:00:33] And the gamblin' wheel shut down

[00:00:36] Anyone with any sense had already left town

[00:00:41] He was standin' in the doorway

[00:00:43] Lookin' like the Jack of Hearts

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

[00:00:52] Set it up for everyone he said

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

[00:00:59] What they were doin' before he turned their heads

[00:01:03] Then he walked up to a stranger

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

[00:01:08] Could you kindly tell me friend

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

[00:01:12] Then he moved into the corner

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

[00:01:21] Backstage the girls were playin'

[00:01:24] Five card stud by the stairs

[00:01:28] Lily had two queens

[00:01:29] She was hopin' for a third to match her pair

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

[00:01:37] The window was open wide

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

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

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

[00:01:47] The Jack of Hearts

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

[00:01:54] He owned the town's only diamond mine

[00:01:59] He made his usual entrance

[00:02:02] Lookin' so dandy and so fine

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

[00:02:08] And every hair in place

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

[00:02:12] And he laid it all to waste

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

[00:02:17] 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 door

[00:02:33] Lookin' like a queen without a crown

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

[00:02:39] And whispered in his ear

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

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

[00:02:46] He was starin' into space

[00:02:48] Over at the Jack of Hearts

[00:02:55] 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 a picture

[00:03:05] Up on somebody's shelf

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

[00:03:10] Their feet and the house lights dipped dim

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

[00:03:15] There was only Jim and him

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

[00:03:19] Who just drew the Jack of Hearts

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

[00:03:29] Skinned and precious as a child

[00:03:33] And there certain something

[00:03:35] Was kind of flash every time she smiled

[00:03:39] She had come away from a broken

[00:03:41] Home and lots of strange affairs

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

[00:03:46] Which took her everywhere

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

[00:03:51] Quite like the Jack of Hearts

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

[00:04:01] And was being wined and dined

[00:04:04] The drillin' in the wall kept up

[00:04:06] 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 nothing would ever come

[00:04:17] Between Lily and the king

[00:04:20] No nothin' ever would except

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

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

[00:04:30] 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 had done a lot of bad things

[00:04:44] Even once tried suicide

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

[00:04:48] Good deed before she died

[00:04:51] She was gazin' to the future

[00:04:53] Riding 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] Well I guess you must have 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

[00:05:19] You lookin' like a saint

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

[00:05:25] 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 somethin' funny going on

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

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

[00:05:46] But the hangin' judge was drunk

[00:05:49] As the leading actor hurried

[00:05:50] By in the costume of a monk

[00:05:52] There was no actor anywhere

[00:05:55] Better than the Jack of Hearts

[00:06:02] Lily's has her arms locked around

[00:06:05] She dearly loved to touch

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

[00:06:11] She heated who hounded her so much

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

[00:06:18] And he felt she was sincere

[00:06:20] But in the whole way

[00:06:21] He felt jealousy and fear

[00:06:24] Just another night

[00:06:26] 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 burst open

[00:06:42] And a cold revolver clicked

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

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

[00:06:51] Rosemary right beside him

[00:06:53] Steady in her eyes

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

[00:06:56] But she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts

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

[00:07:07] Finally made it through the wall

[00:07:10] And cleaned out the bank safe

[00:07:13] It's said that they got off with quite a haul

[00:07:17] In the darkness by the riverbed

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

[00:07:21] For one more member

[00:07:23] Who had 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] The next day was hangin' day

[00:07:37] The sky was overcast and black

[00:07:42] Big Jim lay covered up

[00:07:44] Killed by a penknife in the back

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

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

[00:07:53] The hangin' judge was sober

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

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

[00:08:00] Missin' was the Jack of Hearts

[00:08:06] The cabaret was empty now

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

[00:08:13] Lily had already taken

[00:08:15] All of the dye out of her hair

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

[00:08:21] Who she very rarely saw

[00:08:24] Thinkin' 'bout Rosemary

[00:08:26] And thinkin' about the law

[00:08:28] But most of all

[00:08:30] She was thinkin' 'bout the Jack of Hearts
