Something's up with my voice today...Bob Dylan - The Lonesome Death Of Hattie CarrollWilliam Zanzinger killed poor Hattie CarrollWith a cane that he twirled 'round his diamond ring fingerAt a Baltimore hotel society gatherin'And the cops was called in and his weapon took from himAs they rode him in custody down to the stationAnd booked William Zanzinger for first degree murderAh but you who philosophise disgrace and criticise all fearsTake the rag away from your faceNow ain't the time for your tearsWilliam Zanzinger who at twenty-four yearsOwned a tobacco farm of six hundred acresWith rich wealthy parents who provide and protect himAnd high office relations in the politics of MarylandReacted to his deed with a shrug of his shouldersAnd swear words and sneerings, and his tongue it was a-snarlingAnd in a matter of minutes on bail was out walkingAh but you who philosophise disgrace and criticise all fearsTake the rag away from your faceNow ain't the time for your tearsHattie Carroll was a maid in the kitchenShe was 51 years old and gave brith to ten childrenWho carried the dishes and took out the garbageAnd never sat once at the head of the tableAnd didn't even talk to the people at the tableAnd just cleaned up all the food from the tableAnd emptied the ashtrays at a whole other levelGot killed by a blow lay slain from a caneThat sailed through the air and came down through the roomDoomed and determined to destroy all the gentleAnd she never done nothing to William ZanzingerAh but you who philosophise disgrace and criticise all fearsTake the rag away from your faceNow ain't the time for your tearsIn the courtroom of honour, the judge pounded his gavelTo show that all's equal and that the courts are on the levelAnd that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuadedAnd that even the nobles get properly handledafter the cops have chased after and caught 'emAnd that the ladder of law has no top and no bottomStared at the person who killed for no reasonWho just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin'And he spoke through his cloak most deep and distinguishedAnd handed out strongly for penalty and repentanceWilliam Zanzinger with a six-month sentenceAh but you who philosophise disgrace and criticise all fearsBury the rag deep in your faceFor now's the time for your tears
