Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)[00:00:00]

The festival was over and the boys were all planning for a fall[00:00:36]

The cabaret was quiet except for the drilling in the wall[00:00:43]

The curfew had been lifted and the gambling wheel shut down[00:00:51]

Anyone with any sense had already left town[00:00:55]

He was standing in the doorway looking like the Jack of Hearts [00:00:59]

He moved across the mirrored room "Set it up for everyone" he said[00:01:07]

Then everyone commenced to do what they were doin' before he turned their heads[00:01:15]

Then he walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin[00:01:22]

"Could you kindly tell me friend what time the show begins "[00:01:26]

Then he moved into the corner face down like the Jack of Hearts [00:01:30]

Backstage the girls were playing five card stud by the stairs[00:01:38]

Lily had two queens she was hoping for a third to match her pair[00:01:46]

Outside the streets were filling up the window was open wide[00:01:53]

A gentle breeze was blowing you could feel it from inside[00:01:57]

Lily called another bet and drew up the Jack of Hearts [00:02:01]

Big Jim was no one's fool he owned the town's only diamond mine[00:02:09]

He made his usual entrance looking so dandy and so fine[00:02:16]

With his bodyguards and silver cane and every hair in place[00:02:24]

He took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to waste[00:02:28]

But his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of Hearts [00:02:31]

Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into town[00:02:39]

She slipped in through the side door looking like a queen without a crown[00:02:47]

She fluttered her false eyelashes and whispered in his ear[00:02:55]

"Sorry darling that I'm late" but he didn't seem to hear[00:02:59]

He was staring into space over at the Jack of Hearts [00:03:02]

"I know I've seen that face somewhere" Big Jim was thinking to himself[00:03:10]

"Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on somebody's shelf"[00:03:18]

But then the crowd began to stamp their feet and the house lights did dim[00:03:25]

And in the darkness of the room there was only Jim and him[00:03:29]

Staring at the butterfly who just drew the Jack of Hearts [00:03:33]

Lily was a princess she was fair-skinned and precious as a child[00:03:41]

She did whatever she had to do she had that certain flash every time she smiled[00:03:49]

She'd come away from a broken home had lots of strange affairs[00:03:56]

With men in every walk of life which took her everywhere[00:04:00]

But she'd never met anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts [00:04:03]

The hanging judge came in unnoticed and was being wined and dined[00:04:12]

The drilling in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind[00:04:19]

It was known all around that Lily had Jim's ring[00:04:26]

And nothing would ever come between Lily and the king[00:04:30]

No nothing ever would except maybe the Jack of Hearts [00:04:34]

Rosemary started drinking hard and seeing her reflection in the knife[00:04:42]

She was tired of the attention tired of playing the role of Big Jim's wife[00:04:49]

She had done a lot of bad things even once tried suicide[00:04:57]

Was looking to do just one good deed before she died[00:05:01]

She was gazing to the future riding on the Jack of Hearts [00:05:04]

Lily took her dress off and buried it away[00:05:12]

"Has your luck run out " she laughed at him [00:05:19]

"Well I guess you must have known it would someday[00:05:21]

Be careful not to touch the wall there's a brand new coat of paint[00:05:27]

I'm glad to see you're still alive you're looking like a saint"[00:05:31]

Down the hallway footsteps were coming for the Jack of Hearts [00:05:34]

The backstage manager was pacing all around by his chair[00:05:42]

"There's something funny going on" he said " I can just feel it in the air"[00:05:50]

He went to get the hanging judge but the hanging judge was drunk[00:05:57]

As the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk[00:06:00]

There was no actor anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts [00:06:04]

No one knew the circumstance but they say it happened pretty quick[00:06:12]

The door to the dressing room burst open a Colt revolver clicked[00:06:19]

And big Jim was standing there you couldn't say surprised[00:06:27]

Rosemary right beside him studying her eyes[00:06:30]

She was with big Jim but she was leaning to the Jack of Hearts [00:06:34]

Two doors down the boys finally made it through the wall[00:06:42]

And cleaned out the bank safe it's said that they got off with quite a haul[00:06:49]

In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the ground[00:06:56]

For one more member who had business back in town[00:07:00]

But they couldn't go no further without the Jack of Hearts [00:07:04]

The next day was hanging day the sky was overcast and black[00:07:12]

Big Jim lay covered up killed by a penknife in the back[00:07:19]

And Rosemary on the gallows she didn't even blink[00:07:26]

The hanging judge was sober he hadn't had a drink[00:07:30]

The only person on the scene missing was the Jack of Hearts [00:07:34]

The cabaret was empty now a sign said "Closed for repair"[00:07:41]

Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair[00:07:49]

She was thinking about her father who she very rarely saw[00:07:56]

Thinking about Rosemary and thinking about the law[00:08:00]

But most of all she was thinking about the Jack of Hearts[00:08:04]
