[Verse 1]
The festival was over, the boys were all planning for a fall
The cabaret was quiet except for the drilling in the wall
Curfew had been lifted and the gambling wheel shut down
And anyone with any sense had already left town
He was standing in the doorway looking like the Jack of Hearts
[Verse 2]
He moved across the mirrored room, “Set it up for everyone,” he said
Then everyone commenced to do what they wеre doing before thеy had turned their heads
Then he walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin
“Could you kindly tell me, friend, what time the show begins?”
Then he moved into the corner, face down like the Jack of Hearts
[Verse 3]
Backstage, the girls were playing five-card stud by the stairs
Lily had two queens, she was hoping for a third to match her pair
Outside the streets were filling up, the window was open wide
A gentle breeze was blowing, you could feel it from inside
Lily called another bet and drew up the Jack of Hearts
[Verse 4]
Big Jim was no one’s fool, he owned the town's only diamond mine
He made his usual entrance looking so dandy and so fine
With his bodyguards and silver cane and every hair in place
He took whatever he wanted and he laid it all to waste
But his bodyguards and his silver cane, they were no match for the Jack of Hearts
