Lily Rosemary And The Jack Of He - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹) The festival was over And the boys were all plannin' for a fall The cabaret was quiet except for The drillin' in the wall The curfew had been lifted And the gamblin' wheel shut down Anyone with any sense had already left town He was standin' in the doorway Lookin' like the Jack of Hearts He moved across the mirrored room Set it up for everyone he said Then everyone commenced to do What they were doin' before he turned their heads Then he walked up to a stranger And he asked him with a grin Could you kindly tell me friend What time the show begins Then he moved into the corner Face down like the Jack of Hearts Backstage the girls were playin' Five card stud by the stairs Lily had two queens She was hopin' for a third to match her pair Outside the streets were fillin' up The window was open wide A gentle breeze was blowin' You could feel it from inside Lily called another bet and drew up The Jack of Hearts Big Jim was no one's fool He owned the town's only diamond mine He made his usual entrance Lookin' so dandy and so fine With his bodyguards and silver cane And every hair in place He took whatever he wanted to And he laid it all to waste But his bodyguards and silver cane were No match for the Jack of Hearts Rosemary combed her hair And took a carriage into town She slipped in through the side door Lookin' like a queen without a crown She fluttered her false eyelashes And whispered in his ear Sorry darlin' that I'm late But he didn't seem to hear He was starin' into space Over at the Jack of Hearts I know I've seen that face somewhere Big Jim was thinkin' to himself Maybe down in Mexico or a picture Up on somebody's shelf But then the crowd began to stamp Their feet and the house lights dipped dim And in the darkness of the room There was only Jim and him Starin' at the butterfly Who just drew the Jack of Hearts Lily was a princess she was fair Skinned and precious as a child And there certain something Was kind of flash every time she smiled She had come away from a broken Home and lots of strange affairs With men in every walk of life Which took her everywhere But she'd never met anyone Quite like the Jack of Hearts The hangin' judge came in unnoticed And was being wined and dined The drillin' in the wall kept up But no one seemed to pay it any mind It was known all around that Lily had Jim's ring And nothing would ever come Between Lily and the king No nothin' ever would except Maybe the Jack of Hearts Rosemary started drinkin' hard And seein' her reflection in the knife She was tired of the attention Tired of playin' the role of Big Jim's wife She had done a lot of bad things Even once tried suicide Was lookin' to do just one Good deed before she died She was gazin' to the future Riding on the Jack of Hearts Lily took her dress off buried it away Has your luck run out she laughed at him Well I guess you must have known it would someday Be careful not to touch the wall There's a brand new coat of paint I'm glad to see you're still alive You lookin' like a saint Down the hallway footsteps were comin' For the Jack of Hearts The backstage manager was pacing All around by his chair There's somethin' funny going on And I know I can just feel it in the air He went to get the hangin' judge But the hangin' judge was drunk As the leading actor hurried By in the costume of a monk There was no actor anywhere Better than the Jack of Hearts Lily's has her arms locked around She dearly loved to touch She forgot all about the man She heated who hounded her so much I've missed you so she said to him And he felt she was sincere But in the whole way He felt jealousy and fear Just another night In the life of the Jack of Hearts Well No one knew the circumstance But they say it happened pretty quick The door to the dressing room burst open And a cold revolver clicked And Big Jim was standin' there Ya couldn't say surprised Rosemary right beside him Steady in her eyes She was with Big Jim But she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts 404
