/ cept for the drillin` in the / wall.<br> / D - A<br>The / curfew had been lifted and <br> / E - A<br>The / gamblin` wheel shut down,<br>D - A<br>Anyone with any sense,<br> / Bm - E<br>Had / a - ready left town.<br> / A <br>He was / standin` in the doorway <br>D - E / A / /<br>Lookin` like the Jack of Hear - / arts. / /<br><br><br>He / moved across the mirrored room, <br>"Set em up for everyone," he / said,<br>Then / everyone commenced to do,<br>What / they`d been doin`,<br>Be - fore he moved their / heads.<br>Then he / walked up to a stranger, and <br>He / asked him with a grin,<br>"Could you / kindly tell me, mister, <br>What / time the show be - gins?"<br>He / moved into the corner, <br>Face down like the Jack of Hear - / arts<br><br><br>Back - stage the girls were playin` <br>Five-card stud by the / stairs,<br>Lily had two queens, <br>She was / hopin` for a third, <br>To match her / pair.<br>Out - / side the streets were fillin` up, and<br>A / window was open wide,<br>A / gentle breeze was blowin`, <br>You could / feel it from in - side.<br>Lily called a - nother bet, and <br>Drew up the Jack of Hear - / arts.<br><br>Big Jim was no one`s fool, <br>He owned the town`s only diamond / mine,<br>He / made his usual entrance,<br>Lookin` all so dandy and so / fine.<br>With his / bodyguards and silver cane, and <br>Every hair in place,<br>He / took whatever he wanted to, and <br>He / laid it all to waste,.<br>But his / bodyguards and his silver cane, <br>They were / no match for the Jack of Hear - / arts<br><br>Rose - / mary co - ombed her hair, and <br>Took the carriage into / town,<br>She / slipped into the side door,<br>Lookin` like a queen without a / crown.<br>She / fluttered her false eyelashes and <br>Whispered in his ear,<br>"I`m / sorry, darlin`, that I`m late," <br>But he / didn`t seem to hear.<br>He was / starin` into space, <br>Over at the Jack of Hear - / arts.<br><br>"Well I / know I`ve seen that face somewhere," <br>Big Jim was thinkin` to him - / self,<br>"Maybe down in Mexico or <br>A / picture up - on some - body`s / shelf."<br>But then the / crowd began to stamp their feet, and <br>The / house lights did dim, and<br>In the darkness of the room, <br>There was / only Jim and him,<br>Starin` at the butterfly, <br>Who / just up drew up the Jack of Hear - / arts<br><br>Lily was a princess, <br>She was / fair-skinned and precious as a / child,<br>She / had that certain something<br>Was a kind of a flash,, <br>Every time she / smiled.<br>She`d / come away from a broken home, <br>Had / lots of strange af - fairs,<br>With / men in every walk of life, <br>Who / took her every - where.<br>But she`d / never met any - one <br>Quite like the Jack of Hear - / arts.<br><br>The / hangin` judge came in un - / noticed, and <br>Was being wined and / dined,<br>The / drillin` in the wall kept up, <br>But / no one seemed to pay it any / mind.<br>It was / known all a - round, <br>That / Lily had Jim`s ring, and<br>Nothing would ever come, <br>Between / Lily and the king.<br>No, / nothin` ever could, <br>Ex - / cept maybe the Jack of Hear - / arts.<br><br>Rosemary started drinkin` hard and <br>Seein` her re - flection in the / knife,<br>She was / tired of the at - tention, <br>Tired of playin` the role of Big Jim`s / wife.<br>She had / done a lot of bad things, <br>Even / once tried sui - cide,<br>Was / lookin` to do just one good / deed <br>Before she died.<br>She was / gazin` to the future, <br>Riding on the Jack of Hear - / arts<br><br>Lily took her dress off, <br>Buried it a - / way.<br>"Has your / luck run out?" she laughed at him, <br>"I / guess you must have known it would some - / day.<br>Be / careful not to touch the wall, <br>There`s a / brand-new coat of paint,<br>I`m / glad to see you`re still alive, and<br>You`re / lookin` like a saint."<br>Down the hallway footsteps <br>Were / comin` for the Jack of Hear - / arts<br><br>The / Backstage manager was / pacin`, <br>All a - round by his / chair.<br>"There`s / somethin` funny going on,<br>" I / know, I can just feel it in the / air."<br>He / went to get the hangin` judge, <br>But the / hangin` judge was drunk, and<br>The / leading actor hurried by <br>In the / costume of a monk.<br>But there was no / actor any - where, <br>Better than the Jack of Hear - / arts.<br><br>Lili had her arms a - round the / man<br>She dearly loved to / touch,<br>She for - / got all a - bout the man, <br>She / hated who hounded her so / much, <br>I / missed you so she said to him, and<br>He / thought she was sincere<br>But / in the hallway he fou - ound<br>Jealousy and fear <br>Just another night in the / life of the Jack of Hear - / arts<br><br>No one knew the circumstance <br>But / they say that it happened pretty / quick,<br>The / door to the dressing room burst / open and <br>A cold revolver / clicked, and<br>Big Jim was standin` there, <br>You / couldn`t say sur - prised,<br>Rose - / mary right be - side him, <br>Steady in her eyes.<br>She was / with Big Jim, <br>But she was / leanin` to the Jack of Hear - / arts<br><br>Two doors down and the / boys, <br>Finally made it through the / wall, and<br>They / cleaned out the bank safe, <br>Said they got off with quite a / haul, and<br>In the / darkness of the riverbed, <br>They / waited on the ground,<br>For / one more member, <br>Who had / business back in town.<br>But they / couldn`t go no further, <br>With - out the Jack of Hear - / arts.<br><br>Well the / next day was hangin` day, <br>The / sky was overcast and / black,<br>Big Jim lay covered up, <br>Killed by a penknife in the / back, and<br>Rose - / mary on the gallows, <br>Lord she / didn`t even blink,<br>The / hangin` judge was sober, <br>Lord, he / hadn`t had a drink and,<br>The / only person on the scene <br>Missing was the Jack of Hear - / arts<br><br>Well the / cabaret was quiet now, and<br>A / sign said, "Closed for re - / pair,"<br>Lily had already taken / all of the dye <br>Out of her / hair.<br>She was / thinkin` about her father, <br>Who she / very rarely saw,<br>Thinkin` about Rosemary, and <br>Thinkin` about the law.<br>But, / most of a - all she was / thinkin` <br>About the Jack of Hear - / arts.
