The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll (Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, NY - October 1963) - Bob Dylan[00:00:00]

Lyrics by：Bob Dylan[00:00:03]

Composed by：Bob Dylan[00:00:04]

William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll[00:00:10]

With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger[00:00:17]

At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin'[00:00:22]

And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him[00:00:28]

As they rode him in custody down to the station[00:00:33]

And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder[00:00:38]

Aah Both you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears[00:00:44]

Take the rag away from your face now ain't the time for[00:00:56]

Your tears[00:01:04]

William Zanzinger who at twenty-four years[00:01:15]

Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres[00:01:21]

With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him[00:01:25]

And high office relations in the goverment of Maryland[00:01:31]

Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders[00:01:36]

And swear words and sneering and his tongue it was[00:01:41]

Snarling[00:01:45]

In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking[00:01:47]

Aah both you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears[00:01:53]

Take the rag away from your face now ain't the time for[00:02:06]

Your tears[00:02:15]

Hattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchen[00:02:24]

She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children[00:02:29]

She carried the dishes and took out the garbage[00:02:36]

And never sat once at the head of the table[00:02:41]

And didn't even talk to the people at the table[00:02:46]

Who just cleaned up all the food from the table[00:02:50]

Got killed by a blow lay slain by a cane[00:02:54]

That sailed through the air and came down through the room[00:02:59]

Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle[00:03:04]

And she never spoke once to William Zanzinger[00:03:08]

Aah both you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears[00:03:15]

Take the rag away from your face now ain't the time for[00:03:27]

Your tears[00:03:36]

In the courtroom of honor the judge pounded his gavel[00:03:44]

To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the[00:03:51]

Level[00:03:55]

And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and[00:03:56]

Persuaded[00:04:00]

And that even the nobles get properly handled[00:04:01]

Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em[00:04:05]

And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom[00:04:08]

Stared at the person who killed for no reason[00:04:13]

Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin'[00:04:18]

And he spoke through his cloak most deep and distinguished[00:04:22]

And handed out strongly for penalty and repentance[00:04:27]

William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence[00:04:32]

Aah both you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all[00:04:39]

Fears[00:04:49]

Bury the rag deep in your face for now's[00:04:53]

The time for your Tears[00:05:01]
