《Lily， Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts》歌词

[00:00:00] Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts - Mary Lee's Corvette

[00:00:43] The festival was over

[00:00:45] The boys were all plannin' for a fall

[00:00:49] The cabaret was quiet except

[00:00:52] For the drillin' in the wall

[00:00:55] The curfew had been lifted

[00:00:57] And the gamblin' wheel shut down

[00:00:59] Anyone with any sense had already left town

[00:01:03] He was standin' in the doorway

[00:01:05] Lookin' like the Jack of Hearts

[00:01:11] He moved across the mirrored room

[00:01:13] Set it up for everyone he said

[00:01:17] Then everyone commenced to do what

[00:01:19] They were doin' before he turned their heads

[00:01:23] Then he walked up to a stranger

[00:01:24] And he asked him with a grin

[00:01:27] Could you kindly tell me friend

[00:01:29] What time the show begins

[00:01:30] Then he moved into the corner

[00:01:33] Face down like the Jack of Hearts

[00:01:47] Backstage the girls were

[00:01:48] Playin' five card stud by the stairs

[00:01:55] Lily had two queens

[00:01:56] She was hopin' for a third to match her pair

[00:02:02] Outside the streets were fillin' up

[00:02:04] The window was open wide

[00:02:07] A gentle breeze was blowin'

[00:02:08] You could feel it from inside

[00:02:11] Lily called another bet

[00:02:13] And drew up the Jack of Hearts

[00:02:22] Well big Jim was no one's fool

[00:02:25] He owned the town's only diamond mine

[00:02:31] He made his usual entrance lookin'

[00:02:33] So dandy and so fine

[00:02:39] With his bodyguards

[00:02:40] And silver cane and every hair in place

[00:02:43] He took whatever he wanted to

[00:02:45] And he laid it all to waste

[00:02:46] But his bodyguards and silver

[00:02:48] Cane were no match for the Jack of Hearts

[00:02:55] Rosemary combed her hair

[00:02:57] And took a carriage into town

[00:03:03] She slipped in through the side door

[00:03:05] Lookin' like a queen without a crown

[00:03:11] She fluttered her false eyelashes

[00:03:13] And whispered in his ear

[00:03:15] Sorry darlin' that I'm late

[00:03:17] But he didn't seem to hear

[00:03:19] He was starin' into space over

[00:03:22] At the Jack of Hearts

[00:03:27] I know I've seen that face somewhere

[00:03:29] Big Jim was thinkin' to himself

[00:03:35] Maybe down in Mexico or

[00:03:37] A picture up on somebody's shelf

[00:03:43] But then the crowd began to stamp

[00:03:44] Their feet and the house lights did dim

[00:03:47] And in the darkness of the room

[00:03:49] There was only Jim and him

[00:03:51] Starin' at the butterfly who

[00:03:53] Just drew the Jack of Hearts

[00:03:59] Lily was a princess

[00:04:01] She was fair skinned and precious as a child

[00:04:07] She did whatever she had to do

[00:04:09] She had that certain flash every time she smiled

[00:04:15] She'd come away from a broken home

[00:04:17] Had lots of strange affairs

[00:04:19] With men in every walk of life

[00:04:21] Which took her everywhere

[00:04:23] But she'd never met

[00:04:24] Anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts

[00:04:48] The hangin' judge came in unnoticed

[00:04:50] And was being wined and dined

[00:04:55] The drillin' in the wall kept up

[00:04:58] But no one seemed to pay it any mind

[00:05:03] It was known all around

[00:05:05] That Lily had Jim's ring

[00:05:07] And nothing would ever come

[00:05:09] Between Lily and the king

[00:05:11] No nothin' would ever except

[00:05:14] Maybe the Jack of Hearts

[00:05:20] Rosemary started drinkin' hard

[00:05:22] And seein' her reflection in the knife

[00:05:27] She was tired of the attention

[00:05:29] Tired of playin' the role of Big Jim's wife

[00:05:35] She had done a lot of bad things

[00:05:38] Even once tried suicide

[00:05:40] Was lookin' to do just one

[00:05:42] Good deed before she died

[00:05:44] She was gazin' to the future

[00:05:46] Riding on the Jack of Hearts

[00:06:04] Well Lily watch turf six took

[00:06:07] Her dress off and buried it away

[00:06:13] Has your luck run out she laughed at him

[00:06:15] Well I guess you must have

[00:06:16] Known it would someday

[00:06:21] Be careful not to touch the wall

[00:06:23] There's a brand new coat of paint

[00:06:25] I'm glad to see you're still alive

[00:06:27] You're lookin' like a saint

[00:06:28] Down the hallway footsteps

[00:06:30] Were comin' for the Jack of Hearts

[00:06:37] The backstage manager was pacing

[00:06:39] All around by his chair

[00:06:45] "There's something funny going

[00:06:47] On he said

[00:06:48] I can just feel it in the air

[00:06:53] He went to get the hangin' judge

[00:06:55] But the hangin' judge was drunk

[00:06:57] As the leading actor hurried

[00:06:59] By in the costume of a monk

[00:07:01] There was no actor anywhere

[00:07:03] Better than the Jack of Hearts

[00:07:10] No one knew the circumstance

[00:07:12] But they say that it happened pretty quick

[00:07:18] The door to the dressing room burst open

[00:07:20] And a cold revolver clicked

[00:07:26] And Big Jim was standin' there

[00:07:28] Ya couldn't say surprised

[00:07:30] Rosemary right beside him

[00:07:32] Steady in her eyes

[00:07:34] She was with Big Jim

[00:07:35] But she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts

[00:07:51] Two doors down the boys

[00:07:52] Finally made it through the wall

[00:07:58] And cleaned out the bank safe

[00:08:00] It's said that they got off with quite a haul

[00:08:07] In the darkness by the riverbed

[00:08:09] They waited on the ground

[00:08:11] For one more member

[00:08:12] Who had business back in town

[00:08:14] But they couldn't go no further

[00:08:17] Without the Jack of Hearts

[00:08:23] The next day was hangin' day

[00:08:25] The sky was overcast and black

[00:08:32] Big Jim lay covered up

[00:08:33] Killed by a penknife in the back

[00:08:39] And Rosemary on the gallows

[00:08:41] She didn't even blink

[00:08:44] The hangin' judge was sober

[00:08:45] He hadn't had a drink

[00:08:47] The only person on the scene

[00:08:50] Missin' was the Jack of Hearts

[00:08:56] The cabaret was empty now

[00:08:58] A sign said Closed for repair

[00:09:04] Lily had already taken

[00:09:06] All of the dye out of her hair

[00:09:12] She was thinkin' 'bout her father

[00:09:14] Who she very rarely saw

[00:09:17] Thinkin' 'bout Rosemary

[00:09:18] And thinkin' about the law

[00:09:21] But most of all she was

[00:09:23] Thinkin' 'bout the Jack of Hearts
