Lily, Rosemary and The Jack of Hearts - Bob Dylan from Lívia Pio on Vimeo.

Rosemary started drinking hard and seeing her reflection in the knife
She was tired of the attention tired of playing the role of Big Jim's wife
She had done a lot of bad things even once tried suicide
Was looking to do just one good deed before she died
She was gazing to the future riding on the Jack of Hearts.

Them cover Dylan in 1966, the best year for pop music:

Stray thoughts:

The song starts out sounding like the opening to Ben E. King's "Stand By Me" (1961) but then it hits a sour note to distinguish it.

I knew that Beck had stolen that sound for his song "Jack-Ass" -- I just couldn't place it in my past.  Then I googled -- duh!

Why wasn't this the parting song for Walter White in "Breaking Bad"?

Why doesn't iTunes sell this version of this song?

I'm surprised that no one big has covered this Dylan song. But it is from "that" 1979 album. Mark Knopfler plays guitar on it. They toured together a year or so ago when I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl.
