[00:04.94]The festival was over, the boys were all plannin’ for a fall
[00:13.38]The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin’ in the wall
[00:21.42]The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin’ wheel shut down
[00:26.43]Anyone with any sense had already left town
[00:30.18]He was standin’ in the doorway lookin’ like the Jack of Hearts
[00:39.17]He moved across the mirrored room, “Set it up for everyone,” he said
[00:46.67]Then everyone commenced to do what they were doin’ before he turned their heads
[00:54.68]Then he walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin
[00:58.80]“Could you kindly tell me, friend, what time the show begins?”
[01:02.96]Then he moved into the corner, face down like the Jack of Hearts
[01:12.12]Backstage the girls were playin’ five-card stud by the stairs
[01:19.58]Lily had two queens, she was hopin’ for a third to match her pair
[01:26.83]Outside the streets were fillin’ up, the window was open wide
[01:31.13]A gentle breeze was blowin’, you could feel it from inside
[01:35.55]Lily called another bet and drew up the Jack of Hearts
[01:44.24]Big Jim was no one’s fool, he owned the town’s only diamond mine
[01:51.40]He made his usual entrance lookin’ so dandy and so fine
[01:59.09]With his bodyguards and silver cane and every hair in place
[02:03.27]He took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to waste
[02:07.33]But his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of Hearts
[02:17.34]Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into town
[02:24.79]She slipped in through the side door lookin’ like a queen without a crown
[02:32.96]She fluttered her false eyelashes and whispered in his ear
[02:37.01]“Sorry, darlin’, that I’m late,” but he didn’t seem to hear
[02:41.11]He was starin’ into space over at the Jack of Hearts
[02:50.16]“I know I’ve seen that face before,” Big Jim was thinkin’ to himself
[02:57.63]“Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on somebody’s shelf”
[03:05.43]But then the crowd began to stamp their feet and the houselights did dim
