The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll by Bob Dylan

William (1)__________________ killed (2)________ Hattie Carroll
With a cane that he twirled around his diamond (3)________ finger
At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin'.
And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him

Take the rag (4)________ from (5)________ face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years
Owns a tobacco farm of six (6)______________ acres
With rich wealthy parents who provide and (7)______________ him
And high office relations in the politics of Maryland,
Reacted to his deed with a (8)__________ of his shoulders
And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling,
In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,

But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,

In the (18)__________________ of honor, the judge pounded his gavel
To show that all's equal and (19)________ the courts are on the level
And that the (20)______________ in the books ain't pulled and persuaded
And that even the nobles get (21)________________ handled
Once that the cops have (22)____________ after and caught 'em

Oh, but you who philosophize disgrace and (25)__________________ all fears,
Bury the rag deep in (26)________ face
For now's the time for your tears.
