Hattie Carroll (Live) - Christy Moore[00:00:00]

Written by：Bob Dylan[00:00:01]

William Zanzinger killed Hattie Carroll[00:00:16]

With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger[00:00:21]

At a baltimore hotel society gath'rin'[00:00:27]

And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him[00:00:32]

As they rode him in custody down to the station[00:00:38]

And booked William Zanzinger for first degree murder[00:00:43]

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

Take the rag away from your face[00:00:59]

Now ain't the time for your tears[00:01:02]

When William Zanzinger who at twenty four years[00:01:08]

Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres[00:01:12]

With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him[00:01:16]

And high office relations in the politics of Maryland[00:01:19]

Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders[00:01:23]

And swear words and sneering and his tongue it was snarling[00:01:27]

In less than ten minutes on bail was out walking[00:01:31]

And you who philosophize disgrace criticize my fears[00:01:38]

Take the rag away from your face[00:01:46]

Now ain't the time for your tears[00:01:50]

Hattie Carroll was a maid do walked them the kitchen[00:01:56]

Fifty one years old and gave birth to ten children[00:02:02]

She carried the dishes and took out the garbage[00:02:07]

She never once sat at the head of the table[00:02:11]

She never even talk to the people at the table[00:02:15]

Just sinsi cleaned up all the food from the table[00:02:19]

And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level[00:02:23]

Killed by a blow lay slain by a cane[00:02:26]

That sailed through the air and came down through the room[00:02:30]

Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle[00:02:34]

She never done nothing to William Zanzinger[00:02:38]

And you who philosophize disgrace criticize my fears[00:02:46]

Take the rag away from your face[00:02:53]

Now ain't the time for your tears[00:02:57]

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

To show that all's equal and[00:03:09]

That the courts are on the level[00:03:11]

And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded[00:03:15]

And that even the rich take at[00:03:18]

Nobles get properly handled[00:03:21]

Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em[00:03:22]

And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom[00:03:26]

Stared at the man who killed for no reason[00:03:30]

Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin'[00:03:34]

He spoke through his cloak most deep and distinguished[00:03:37]

And handed out strongly for penalty and repentance[00:03:41]

Gave William Zanzinger with a six month sentence[00:03:45]

Oh but you who philosophize disgrace criticize my fears[00:03:53]

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

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