"Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts", is a song by Bob Dylan released on the 1975 album Blood on the Tracks, known for its complex plot and long running time. It is one of five songs on Blood on the Tracks that Dylan initially recorded in New York City in September 1974 and then re-recorded in Minneapolis in December that year; the later recording became the album track.

There have been two screenplays written based on the song: one by John Kaye and commissioned by Dylan, and another written by James Byron. Neither screenplay ever became a film.

According to his official website, Dylan has played the song live only once on May 25, 1976, in Salt Lake City.

Hearing the lyrics read to her by Dylan just after they had been written is thought to be the inspiration for the 1975 Joan Baez song "Diamonds & Rust", which is based on her and Dylan's own relationship ten years earlier.

The song has a long list of characters. The inspiration behind several characters in the plot has been long disputed among fans.

There is an extra verse on the Bob Dylan website that is not in the album version (right after the "backstage manager" verse):

Lily's arms were locked around the man that she dearly loved to touch,
She forgot all about the man she couldn't stand who hounded her so much.
"I've missed you so," she said to him, and he felt she was sincere,
But just beyond the door he felt jealousy and fear.
Just another night in the life of the Jack of Hearts.

This verse can be found on the Blood On The Tapes and Blood on the Tracks (New York Sessions) bootleg version. This version is slower and more somber, even mournful, reflecting the approach of the other New York sessions. The version on Blood on the Tracks was recorded later, in Minneapolis, and reflects Dylan's attempts, following his brother's advice, to make the album less difficult and intense. The same contrast can be seen with the New York (Bootleg Series) and Minneapolis (album) versions of "Tangled Up in Blue" and "Idiot Wind". The verse also appears in the Joan Baez recording of the song.

The song also contains a number of references to playing cards – the Jack of Hearts himself, the fact that Big Jim owns the town's "only diamond mine", the description of Rosemary looking "like a queen" and Big Jim like a "king", and in the third verse, Lily is playing a game of poker with the other girls in the cabaret.
