歌词
The festival was over, the boys were all plannin’ for a fall
欢宴结束，小伙子们正打算去干一票
The cabaret was quiet except for the drillingin the wall
卡巴莱酒吧安静下来，只有墙上钻头在响
The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin’ wheel shut down
宵禁解除，轮盘赌已打烊
Anyone with any sense had already left town
任何有理智的人都已离开小镇
He was standin’ in the doorway lookin’ like the Jack of Hearts
他站在门口，看起来就像红心杰克
他穿过装有镜子的房间，说：“给每个人都准备好了”
He moved across the mirrored room, “Set it up for everyone,” he said
每个人都转头看着他，然后又开始做之前在做的事
Then everyone commenced to do what they were doin’ before he turned their heads
接着他走向一个陌生人，咧嘴笑着问
Then he walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin
“朋友，可否告诉我演出几点开始？”
“Could you kindly tell me, friend, what time the show begins?” “
然后他走进角落，低下头就像红心杰克
Then he moved into the corner, face down like the Jack of Hearts
后台的姑娘们在楼梯旁玩着梭哈
莉莉有两张王后，正在等第三张来配这一对
Backstage the girls were playin’ five-card stud by the stairs
街上满是人，窗户大开
Lily had two queens, she was hopin’ for a third to match her pair
微风吹拂，在屋里也能感觉到
Outside the streets were fillin’ up, the window was open wide
莉莉又叫了一次注，抽到了红心杰克
A gentle breeze was blowin’, you could feel it from inside
精明过人的大吉姆，拥有镇上唯一的钻石矿
Lily called another bet and drew up the Jack of Hearts
走进来时总是派头十足
带着保镖，掂着银杖，头发纹丝不乱
Big Jim was no one’s fool, he owned the town’s only diamond mine
他应有尽有，挥霍无度
He made his usual entrance lookin’ so dandy and so fine
但他的保镖和银杖都比不上红心杰克
With his bodyguards and silver cane and every hair in place
罗斯玛丽梳好头发，坐着马车来到镇上
He took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to waste
翩翩然穿过侧门，像个无冕的王后
But his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of Hearts
她忽闪着假睫毛，在他耳边低语
“抱歉，亲爱的，我来晚了。”可他像没听到
Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into town
他正呆呆地盯着红心杰克
She slipped in through the side door lookin’ like a queen without a crown
“那张脸我以前见过，”大吉姆心想
She fluttered her false eyelashes and whispered in his ear
“可能在墨西哥，或在谁架子上的照片里”
“Sorry, darlin’, that I’m late,” but he didn’t seem to hear “
这时候人群开始跺脚，灯光变暗
He was starin’ into space over at the Jack of Hearts
在房间的黑暗中只有吉姆和他
凝视着那只蝴蝶，她刚抽到红心杰克
“I know I’ve seen that face somewhere,” Big Jim was thinkin’ to himself “
莉莉是个公主，皮肤白皙可爱如孩童
“Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on somebody’s shelf”
她做着不得不做的一切，笑起来光彩熠熠
But then the crowd began to stamp their feet and the houselights did dim
她从一个破碎的家庭逃离，与三教九流的男人
And in the darkness of the room there was only Jim and him
去过各种地方，有过许多风流韵事
Starin’ at the butterfly who just drew the Jack of Hearts
但她从没遇到过哪个人像红心杰克
惯判绞刑的法官不声不响地进来，又吃又喝
Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a child
钻头在墙上一直响，却似乎谁都没注意
She did whatever she had to do, she had that certain flash every time she smiled
谁都知道莉莉有吉姆给的戒指
She’d come away from a broken home, had lots of strange affairs
没有什么会破坏莉莉与国外之间的关系
With men in every walk of life which took her everywhere
不，不会有什么，也许除了红心杰克
But she’d never met anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts
罗斯玛丽开始酗酒，一边看着她在小刀上映出的影子
她厌倦了被人关注，厌倦了扮演大吉姆老婆的角色
The hangin’ judge came in unnoticed and was being wined and dined
她做过许多糟糕的事，有次甚至尝试自杀
The drillin’ in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind
她只盼着在死之前做件善事
It was known all around that Lily had Jim’s ring
她注视着未来，寄希望于红心杰克
And nothing would ever come between Lily and the king
莉莉洗了脸，脱下衣服，把它们藏起来
No, nothin’ ever would except maybe the Jack of Hearts
“你的运气都用光了？”她笑，“我想你一定知道会有这天
小心别碰这墙，油漆还没干
Rosemary started drinkin’ hard and seein’ her reflection in the knife
真高兴看到你还活着，你看着像个圣徒”
She was tired of the attention, tired of playin’ the role of Big Jim’s wife
脚步声沿着走廊，奔向红心杰克
She had done a lot of bad things, even once tried suicide
后台经理绕着椅子踱步
Was lookin’ to do just one good deed before she died
“发生了些奇怪的事，”他说，“我能隐约地感觉到”
She was gazin’ to the future, riding on the Jack of Hearts
他去找法官，法官却酩酊大醉
当主角一身僧侣装扮匆匆经过
Lily washed her face, took her dress off and buried it away
没有任何地方的演员比得上红心杰克
“Has your luck run out?” she laughed at him, “Well, I guess you must have known it would someday “
没人清楚状况，但他们说事情发生得很快
Be careful not to touch the wall, there’s a brand-new coat of paint
更衣室的门突然打开，一只冰冷的左轮手枪咔哒一响
I’m glad to see you’re still alive, you’re lookin’ like a saint”
大吉姆站在那里，这倒不算意外
Down the hallway footsteps were comin’ for the Jack of Hearts
罗斯玛丽就在他旁边，目光很平静
她跟着大吉姆，心却偏向了红心杰克
The backstage manager was pacing all around by his chair
隔着两个门面，小伙子们终于破墙而入
“There’s something funny going on,” he said, “I can just feel it in the air” “
洗劫了银行保险箱，据说偷走了一大笔钱
He went to get the hangin’ judge, but the hangin’ judge was drunk
黑暗里，他们在河床边上等待
As the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk
有个人在镇上还有事要办
There was no actor anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts
而他们不可能走得更远，要没有红心杰克
第二天是绞刑日，天气阴沉暗黑
No one knew the circumstance but they say that it happened pretty quick
大吉姆躺着，身上盖着布，被一把小刀从背后杀死
The door to the dressing room burst open and a cold revolver clicked
罗斯玛丽上了绞架，眼睛一眨都不眨
And Big Jim was standin’ there, ya couldn’t say surprised
法官很清醒，他没有喝酒
Rosemary right beside him, steady in her eyes
唯一在场而消失的人是红心杰克
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin’ to the Jack of Hearts
如今卡巴莱酒吧空空荡荡，告示写着：“停业维修”
莉莉也已洗手不干
Two doors down the boys finally made it through the wall
她想着她很少见到的父亲
And cleaned out the bank safe, it’s said that they got off with quite a haul
想着罗斯玛丽，还想到法律
In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the ground
但她想得最多的还是红心杰克
For one more member who had business back in town
But they couldn’t go no further without the Jack of Hearts
The next day was hangin’ day, the sky was overcast and black
Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back
And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn’t even blink
The hangin’ judge was sober, he hadn’t had a drink
The only person on the scene missin’ was the Jack of Hearts
The cabaret was empty 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’ ’bout Rosemary and thinkin’ about the law
But most of all she was thinkin’ ’bout the Jack of Hearts
