THE LONESOME DEATH OF HATTIE CARROLL - BOB DYLAN[00:00:01]

William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll[00:00:26]

With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ringed finger[00:00:30]

At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin'[00:00:34]

And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him[00:00:38]

As they rode him in custody down to the station[00:00:42]

And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder[00:00:46]

But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears[00:00:54]

Take the rag away from your face[00:01:02]

Now ain't the time for your tears [00:01:07]

William Zanzinger who had twenty-four years[00:01:20]

Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres[00:01:24]

With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him[00:01:28]

And high office relations in the politics of Maryland[00:01:32]

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

And swear words and sneering and his tongue it was a' snarling[00:01:40]

And in a matter of minutes on bail was out walking[00:01:44]

But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears[00:01:51]

Take the rag away from your face[00:02:00]

Now ain't the time for your tears [00:02:04]

Hattie Carroll was a maid in the kitchen[00:02:26]

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

Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage[00:02:33]

And never sat once at the head of the table[00:02:38]

Who just cleaned up all the food from the table[00:02:42]

And emptied the ashtrays on the whole lower level[00:02:46]

Got killed by a blow lay slain by a cane[00:02:50]

That sailed through the air and came down through the room[00:02:54]

Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle[00:02:58]

And she never done nothin' to William Zanzinger[00:03:02]

And you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears[00:03:10]

Take the rag away from your face[00:03:18]

Now ain't the time for your tears [00:03:22]

In the courtroom of honor the judge pounded his gavel[00:03:51]

To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level[00:03:55]

And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded[00:03:59]

And that even the nobles get properly handled[00:04:03]

Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em[00:04:07]

And that ladder of law has no top and no bottom[00:04:12]

Stared at the person who killed for no reason[00:04:16]

Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin'[00:04:20]

And he spoke through his cloak most deep and distinguished[00:04:24]

And handed out strongly for penalty and repentance[00:04:28]

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

Ah but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears[00:04:39]

Bury the rag deep in your face[00:04:48]

For now's the time for your tears[00:04:52]
