The festival was over, the boys were all plannin’ for a fall |
| [00:43.83] |
The cabaret was quiet except for the drillingin the wall |
| [00:51.67] |
The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin’ wheel shut down |
| [00:55.69] |
Anyone with any sense had already left town |
| [00:59.29] |
He was standin’ in the doorway lookin’ like the Jack of Hearts |
| [01:05.46] |
|
| [01:07.10] |
He moved across the mirrored room, “Set it up for everyone,” he said |
| [01:15.07] |
Then everyone commenced to do what they were doin’ before he turned their heads |
| [01:22.59] |
Then he walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin |
| [01:26.54] |
“Could you kindly tell me, friend, what time the show begins?” “ |
| [01:30.25] |
Then he moved into the corner, face down like the Jack of Hearts |
| [01:35.19] |
|
| [01:38.01] |
Backstage the girls were playin’ five-card stud by the stairs |
| [01:45.76] |
Lily had two queens, she was hopin’ for a third to match her pair |
| [01:53.65] |
Outside the streets were fillin’ up, the window was open wide |
| [01:57.36] |
A gentle breeze was blowin’, you could feel it from inside |
| [02:01.07] |
Lily called another bet and drew up the Jack of Hearts |
| [02:06.22] |
|
| [02:09.09] |
Big Jim was no one’s fool, he owned the town’s only diamond mine |
| [02:16.51] |
He made his usual entrance lookin’ so dandy and so fine |
| [02:24.16] |
With his bodyguards and silver cane and every hair in place |
| [02:27.95] |
He took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to waste |
| [02:31.69] |
But his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of Hearts |
| [02:39.13] |
|
| [02:39.68] |
Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into town |
| [02:47.18] |
She slipped in through the side door lookin’ like a queen without a crown |
| [02:54.78] |
She fluttered her false eyelashes and whispered in his ear |
| [02:58.80] |
“Sorry, darlin’, that I’m late,” but he didn’t seem to hear “ |
| [03:02.43] |
He was starin’ into space over at the Jack of Hearts |
| [03:07.79] |
|
| [03:10.32] |
“I know I’ve seen that face before,” Big Jim was thinkin’ to himself “ |
| [03:17.90] |
“Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on somebody’s shelf” |
| [03:25.40] |
But then the crowd began to stamp their feet and the houselights did dim |
| [03:29.47] |
And in the darkness of the room there was only Jim and him |
| [03:33.21] |
Starin’ at the butterfly who just drew the Jack of Hearts |
| [03:38.30] |
|
| [03:41.51] |
Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a child |
| [03:48.49] |
She did whatever she had to do, she had that certain flash every time she smiled |
| [03:56.01] |
She’d come away from a broken home, had lots of strange affairs |
| [03:59.96] |
With men in every walk of life which took her everywhere |
| [04:03.56] |
But she’d never met anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts |
| [04:08.81] |
|
| [04:11.35] |
The hangin’ judge came in unnoticed and was being wined and dined |
| [04:18.84] |
The drillin’ in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind |
| [04:26.23] |
It was known all around that Lily had Jim’s ring |
| [04:30.26] |
And nothing would ever come between Lily and the king |
| [04:34.07] |
No, nothin’ ever would except maybe the Jack of Hearts |
| [04:38.83] |
|
| [04:41.62] |
Rosemary started drinkin’ hard and seein’ her reflection in the knife |
| [04:49.14] |
She was tired of the attention, tired of playin’ the role of Big Jim’s wife |
| [04:56.38] |
She had done a lot of bad things, even once tried suicide |
| [05:00.56] |
Was lookin’ to do just one good deed before she died |
| [05:04.22] |
She was gazin’ to the future, riding on the Jack of Hearts |
| [05:09.23] |
|
| [05:11.87] |
Lily washed her face, took her dress off and buried it away |
| [05:19.19] |
“Has your luck run out?” she laughed at him, “Well, I guess you must have known it would someday “ |
| [05:26.92] |
Be careful not to touch the wall, there’s a brand-new coat of paint |
| [05:30.65] |
I’m glad to see you’re still alive, you’re lookin’ like a saint” |
| [05:34.34] |
Down the hallway footsteps were comin’ for the Jack of Hearts |
| [05:39.04] |
|
| [05:41.70] |
The backstage manager was pacing all around by his chair |
| [05:49.15] |
“There’s something funny going on,” he said, “I can just feel it in the air” “ |
| [05:56.49] |
He went to get the hangin’ judge, but the hangin’ judge was drunk |
| [06:00.33] |
As the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk |
| [06:03.83] |
There was no actor anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts |
| [06:09.18] |
|
| [06:11.61] |
No one knew the circumstance but they say that it happened pretty quick |
| [06:19.14] |
The door to the dressing room burst open and a cold revolver clicked |
| [06:26.35] |
And Big Jim was standin’ there, ya couldn’t say surprised |
| [06:30.26] |
Rosemary right beside him, steady in her eyes |
| [06:33.92] |
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin’ to the Jack of Hearts |
| [06:38.47] |
|
| [06:41.39] |
Two doors down the boys finally made it through the wall |
| [06:48.79] |
And cleaned out the bank safe, it’s said that they got off with quite a haul |
| [06:56.10] |
In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the ground |
| [07:00.15] |
For one more member who had business back in town |
| [07:04.07] |
But they couldn’t go no further without the Jack of Hearts |
| [07:08.27] |
|
| [07:11.33] |
The next day was hangin’ day, the sky was overcast and black |
| [07:18.88] |
Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back |
| [07:26.30] |
And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn’t even blink |
| [07:30.01] |
The hangin’ judge was sober, he hadn’t had a drink |
| [07:33.51] |
The only person on the scene missin’ was the Jack of Hearts |
| [07:38.31] |
|
| [07:41.16] |
The cabaret was empty now, a sign said, “Closed for repair” |
| [07:48.42] |
Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair |
| [07:55.97] |
She was thinkin’ ’bout her father, who she very rarely saw |
| [07:59.73] |
Thinkin’ ’bout Rosemary and thinkin’ about the law |
| [08:03.78] |
But most of all she was thinkin’ ’bout the Jack of Hearts |
