The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll by Bob Dylan

William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll
With a (1)________ that he twirled (2)____________ his diamond (3)________ finger
At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin'.
And the cops were called in and his weapon (4)________ from him
As (5)________ rode him in custody down to the station
And booked William (6)__________________ for first-degree murder.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag (7)________ from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years
Owns a tobacco farm of six (8)______________ acres
With (9)________ wealthy parents who provide and protect him
And high office relations in the politics of Maryland,
Reacted to his deed (10)________ a shrug of his shoulders
And (11)__________ (12)__________ and sneering, and his (13)____________ it was snarling,
In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

Hattie (14)______________ was a maid of the kitchen.
She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children
Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage
And never sat once at the head of the table
And didn't even talk to the people at the table
Who just cleaned up all the (15)________ from the table
And (16)______________ the ashtrays on a whole other level,
Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
That (17)____________ (18)______________ the air and came down through the room,
Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle.
And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for (19)________ tears.

In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel
To show that all's (20)__________ and that the courts are on the level
And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded
And that even the nobles get properly handled
Once (21)________ the cops have (22)____________ after and caught 'em
And (23)________ the (24)____________ of law has no top and no bottom,
Stared at the person who killed for no reason
Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin'.
And he spoke through his cloak, most (25)________ and distinguished,
And (26)____________ out strongly, for penalty and repentance,
William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence.
Oh, but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Bury the rag deep in your face
For now's the time for your tears.
