what does a 'jack of hearts' stand for?

hey

A question for american orgers. Does the 'jack of hearts' have some sort of symbolic meaning that i as a european don't get. I've been listening to bob dylan's "jack of hearts" and in the highwaymen's "silver stallion" there's a lyric: "ride like a one-eyed jack of diamonds with the devil close behind". Does this have any meaning? What does the 'jack of hearts/diamonds' stand for?

thanx

It was not in vain...it was in Minneapolis!

It's probably got something to do with poker or black jack?..
