| The festival was over, the boys were all planning for a fall, | |
| The cabaret was quiet except for the drilling in the wall. | |
| The curfew had been lifted and the gambling wheel shut down, | |
| Anyone with any sense had already left town. | |
| He was standing in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of Hearts. | |
| He moved across the mirrored room, Set it âem for everyone, he said, | |
| Then everyone commenced to do what they were doin' before he moved 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 blowing, 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' oh 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 staring into space over at the Jack of Hearts. | |
| I know I've seen that face before, 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 did dim | |
| And in the darkness of the room there was only Jim and him, | |
| Staring at the butterfly who just drew the Jack of Hearts. | |
| Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a child, | |
| She did whatever she had to do, it was a kind of a flash every time she smiled. | |
| She'd come away from a broken home, had 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 drilling 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 nothin' would ever come between Lily and the king. | |
| No, nothing ever would âcept 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 washed her face, took her dress off and 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're 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 something funny going on, I know, I can just feel it in the air. | |
| He went to get the hangin' judge, but the hangin' judge was drunk, | |
| And the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk. | |
| There was no actor anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts. | |
| Lily's had her arms around the man that she dearly loved to touch, | |
| She forgot all about the man she hated, who hounded her so much. | |
| I've missed you so, she said to him, and he felt she was sincere, | |
| But just beyond the door he felt jealousy and fear. | |
| Just another night in the life of the Jack of Hearts. | |
| No one knew the circumstance but they say that it happened pretty quick, | |
| The door to the dressing room burst open and a cold revolver clicked. | |
| And Big Jim was standin' there, you 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. | |
| Two doors down and the boys finally made it through the wall | |
| Cleaned out the bank safe, it's said that they got off with quite a haul. | |
| In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the ground | |
| For one more member who had business back in town. | |
| But they couldn't go no further without the Jack of Hearts. | |
| Well the next day was hangin' day, and the sky was overcast and black, | |
| Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back. | |
| And Rosemary on the gallows, boy, she didn't even blink, | |
| The hangin' judge was sober, Lord, he hadn't had a drink. | |
| The only person on the scene missing was the Jack of Hearts. | |
| The cabaret was quiet now, a sign said, Closed for repair, | |
| Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair. | |
| She was thinkin' 'bout her father, who she very rarely saw, | |
| Thinkin' about Rosemary and thinkin' about the law. | |
| But, most of all she was thinkin' about the Jack of Hearts. |
| The festival was over, the boys were all planning for a fall, | |
