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

The festival was over [00:00:18]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lily had two queens [00:01:28]

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Jack of Hearts [00:01:47]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No match for the Jack of Hearts [00:02:17]

Rosemary combed her hair[00:02:24]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And there certain something[00:03:33]

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

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

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

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

Which took her everywhere [00:03:46]

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

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

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

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

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

But no one seemed to pay it any mind [00:04:06]

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

And nothing would ever come[00:04:15]

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

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

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

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

And seein' her reflection in the knife [00:04:30]

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

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

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

Even once tried suicide [00:04:44]

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

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

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

Riding on the Jack of Hearts [00:04:53]

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

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

Well I guess you must have known it would someday [00:05:09]

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

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

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

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

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

For the Jack of Hearts [00:05:25]

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

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

There's somethin' funny going on [00:05:37]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just another night[00:06:24]

In the life of the Jack of Hearts [00:06:26]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rosemary right beside him [00:06:51]

Steady in her eyes [00:06:53]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For one more member[00:07:21]

Who had business back in town [00:07:23]

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

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

The next day was hangin' day [00:07:35]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lily had already taken[00:08:13]

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

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

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

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

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

But most of all[00:08:28]

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