《Lily， Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts(Live)》歌词

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

[00:00:18] The festival was over

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

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

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

[00:00:32] Curfew had been lifted

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:59] They were doin' before he moved their heads

[00:01:03] Then he walked up to a stranger

[00:01:05] And he asked him with a grin

[00:01:08] Could you kindly tell me Mr

[00:01:10] What time the show begins

[00:01:12] Then he moved into the corner

[00:01:14] Face down like the Jack of Hearts

[00:01:21] Backstage the girls were playin' five-card

[00:01:24] Stud by the stairs

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:43] Lily called another bet

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

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

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

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

[00:02:02] Oh so dandy and so fine

[00:02:06] With his bodyguards and silver cane

[00:02:08] And every hair in place

[00:02:10] He took whatever he wanted to

[00:02:12] And he laid it all to waste

[00:02:15] But his bodyguards and silver cane were

[00:02:17] No match for the Jack of Hearts

[00:02:24] Rosemary combed her hair

[00:02:26] And took a carriage into town

[00:02:30] She slipped in through the side door lookin'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:55] I know I've seen that face somewhere

[00:02:58] Big Jim was thinkin' to himself

[00:03:02] Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:46] Who took her everywhere

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

[00:03:51] Like the jack of hearts

[00:03:58] The hangin' judge came in unnoticed

[00:04:01] And was being wined and dined

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:35] She was tired of the attention

[00:04:38] Tired of playin' the role of big Jim's wife

[00:04:42] She had done a lot of bad things

[00:04:44] Even once tried suicide

[00:04:47] Was lookin' to do just one good deed

[00:04:49] Before she died

[00:04:51] She was gazin' to the future

[00:04:53] Riding on the jack of hearts

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

[00:05:07] Has your luck run out She laughed at him

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

[00:05:10] It would someday

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

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

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

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

[00:05:22] Down the hallway footsteps

[00:05:25] Were comin' for the jack of hearts

[00:05:31] The backstage manager was pacing

[00:05:34] All around by his chair

[00:05:38] There's something funny going on

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:06:23] Jealousy and fear

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:07:25] Back in town

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:08:25] Thinkin' about rosemary

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

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

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