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

The festival was over [00:00:18]

The boys were all planning for a fall [00:00:20]

Cabaret was quiet except for[00:00:25]

The drilling in the wall [00:00:28]

Curfew had been lifted[00:00:32]

And the gambling wheel shut down [00:00:33]

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

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

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

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

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

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

They were doin' before he moved 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 Mr [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' five-card[00:01:21]

Stud by the stairs [00:01:24]

Lily had two queens she was hopin' for[00:01:28]

A third to match her pair [00:01:30]

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

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

A gentle breeze was blowing [00:01:39]

You could feel it from inside [00:01:40]

Lily called another bet[00:01:43]

And drew up the Jack of Hearts [00:01:46]

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

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

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

Oh 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 lookin'[00:02:30]

Like a queen without a crown [00:02:33]

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

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

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

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

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

At the Jack of Hearts [00:02:49]

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 up[00:03:02]

On somebody's shelf [00:03:05]

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

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

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

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

Staring at the butterfly who[00:03:18]

Just drew up the jack of hearts [00:03:20]

Lily was a princess she was fair-skinned[00:03:27]

And precious as a child [00:03:30]

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

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

She'd come away from a broken home [00:03:40]

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

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

Who took her everywhere [00:03:46]

But she'd never met anyone quite[00:03:49]

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 drilling in the wall kept up[00:04:05]

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

It was known all around that Lily had Jim's ring [00:04:11]

And nothin' would ever come[00:04:15]

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

No nothing ever would 'cept[00:04:20]

Maybe the jack of hearts [00:04:23]

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

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

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 good deed[00:04:47]

Before she died [00:04:49]

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 [00:05:07]

I guess she must have known[00:05:09]

It would someday [00:05:10]

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

There's a brand-new coat of paint [00:05:16]

I'm glad to see you're still alive [00:05:18]

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

Down the hallway footsteps[00:05:22]

Were comin' 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 something funny going on [00:05:38]

I know I can just feel it in the air [00:05:40]

He went to get the hangin' judge [00:05:45]

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

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

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

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

Than the jack of hearts [00:05:56]

Lily's had her arms around the man[00:06:03]

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

She forgot all about the man she hated [00:06:09]

Who hounded her so much [00:06:12]

I've missed you so she said to him [00:06:16]

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

Butin the whole way he felt[00:06:20]

Jealousy and fear [00:06:23]

Just another night in the life[00:06:25]

Of the jack of hearts [00:06:27]

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

But they say that it happened pretty quick [00:06:36]

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

And a cold revolver clicked [00:06:43]

And big Jim was standin' there [00:06:47]

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

Rosemary right beside him steady in her eyes [00:06:51]

She was with big Jim but she was leanin'[00:06:55]

To the jack of hearts [00:06:58]

Two doors down and the boys[00:07:05]

Finally made it through the wall [00:07:08]

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

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

In the darkness by the riverbed[00:07:18]

They waited on the ground [00:07:20]

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

Back in town [00:07:25]

But they couldn't go no further[00:07:27]

Without the jack of hearts [00:07:29]

Well the next day was hangin' day [00:07:36]

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

Big Jim lay covered up [00:07:43]

Killed by a penknife in the back [00:07:45]

And Rosemary on the gallows boy [00:07:49]

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

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

He hadn't had a drink [00:07:56]

And the only person on the scene missing[00:07:58]

Was the jack of hearts [00:08:01]

Well the cabaret was quiet now [00:08:07]

A sign said closed for repair [00:08:09]

Lily had already taken all[00:08:14]

Of the dye out of her hair [00:08:17]

She was thinkin' 'bout her father [00:08:20]

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

Thinkin' about rosemary[00:08:25]

And thinkin' about the law [00:08:27]

But most of all she was thinkin'[00:08:29]

About the jack of hearts[00:08:32]
