[00:36.12]The festival was over, the boys were all plannin' for a fall,
[00:43.60]The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin' in the wall.
[00:51.29]The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down,
[00:55.33]Anyone with any sense had already left town.
[00:58.99]He was standin' in the doorway lookin' like the jack of hearts.
[01:07.03]He moved across the mirrored room, set it up for everyone, he said,
[01:14.61]Then everyone commenced to do what they were doin' before he turned their heads.
[01:22.19]then he walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin,
[01:25.95]could you kindly tell me, friend, what time the show begins?
[01:29.80]Then he moved into the corner, face down like the jack of hearts.
[01:37.97]Backstage the girls were playin' five-card stud by the stairs,
[01:45.57]Lily had two queens, she was hopin' for a third to match her pair.
[01:53.00]Outside the streets were fillin' up, the window was open wide,
[01:56.74]A gentle breeze was blowin', you could feel it from inside.
[02:00.85]Lily called another bet and drew up the jack of hearts.
[02:08.59]Big jim was no one's fool, he owned the town's only diamond mine,
[02:15.98]He made his usual entrance lookin' so dandy and so fine.
[02:23.31]With his bodyguards and silver cane and every hair in place,
[02:28.07]He took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to waste.
[02:31.05]But his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the jack of hearts.
[02:39.15]Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into town,
[02:46.48]She slipped in through the side door lookin' like a queen without a crown.
[02:54.02]She fluttered her false eyelashes and whispered in his ear,
[02:58.12]sorry, darlin', that i'm late, but he didn't seem to hear.
[03:01.61]He was starin' into space over at the jack of hearts.
[03:09.49]i know i've seen that face before, big jim was thinkin' to himself,
[03:17.27]maybe down in mexico or a picture up on somebody's shelf.
[03:24.45]But then the crowd began to stamp their feet and the house lights did dim
[03:28.45]And in the darkness of the room there was only jim and him,
[03:32.30]Starin' at the butterfly who just drew the jack of hearts.
[03:40.09]Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a child,
[03:47.63]She did whatever she had to do, she had that certain flash every time she smiled.
[03:54.85]She'd come away from a broken home, had lots of strange affairs
[03:58.75]With men in every walk of life which took her everywhere.
[04:02.39]But she'd never met anyone quite like the jack of hearts.
[04:10.33]The hangin' judge came in unnoticed and was being wined and dined,
[04:17.60]The drillin' in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind.
[04:24.94]It was known all around that lily had jim's ring
[04:28.99]And nothing would ever come between lily and the king.
[04:33.50]No, nothin' ever would except maybe the jack of hearts.
[04:40.63]Rosemary started drinkin' hard and seein' her reflection in the knife,
[04:47.71]She was tired of the attention, tired of playin' the role of big jim's wife.
[04:55.03]She had done a lot of bad things, even once tried suicide,
[04:59.23]Was lookin' to do just one good deed before she died.
[05:02.92]She was gazin' to the future, riding on the jack of hearts.
[05:10.62]Lily took her dress off, buried it away.
[05:17.70]has your luck run out? she laughed at him,
[05:19.98]well, i guess you must have known it would someday.
[05:25.23]Be careful not to touch the wall, there's a brand-new coat of paint,
[05:28.92]I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
[05:32.71]Down the hallway footsteps were comin' for the jack of hearts.
[05:40.44]The backstage manager was pacing all around by his chair.
[05:47.43]there's something funny going on, he said, ican just feel it in the air.
[05:54.91]He went to get the hangin' judge, but the hangin' judge was drunk,
[05:58.65]As the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk.
[06:02.04]There was no actor anywhere better than the jack of hearts.
[06:10.14]No one knew the circumstance but they say that it happened pretty quick,
[06:17.32]The door to the dressing room burst open and a cold revolver clicked.
[06:24.55]And big jim was standin' there, ya couldn't say surprised,
[06:28.34]Rosemary right beside him, steady in her eyes.
[06:31.85]She was with big jim but she was leanin' to the jack of hearts.
[06:39.28]Two doors down the boys finally made it through the wall
[06:46.87]And cleaned out the bank safe, it's said that they got off with quite a haul.
[06:54.15]In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the ground
[06:57.74]For one more member who had business back in town.
[07:01.58]But they couldn't go no further without the jack of hearts.
[07:09.38]The next day was hangin' day, the sky was overcast and black,
[07:17.14]Big jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back.
[07:23.90]And rosemary on the gallows, she didn't even blink,
[07:27.59]The hangin' judge was sober, he hadn't had a drink.
[07:31.64]The only person on the scene missin' was the jack of hearts.
[07:38.82]The cabaret was empty now, a sign said, closed for repair,
[07:46.25]Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair.
[07:53.68]She was thinkin' 'bout her father, who she very rarely saw,
[07:57.43]Thinkin' 'bout rosemary and thinkin' about the law.
[08:01.22]But, most of all she was thinkin' 'bout the jack of hearts.
