The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll by Bob Dylan

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

William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years
Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres
With rich wealthy (8)______________ who provide and (9)______________ him
And high office (10)__________________ in the politics of Maryland,
Reacted to his deed (11)________ a shrug of his shoulders
And (12)__________ 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 (13)__________________ all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

Hattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchen.
She was fifty-one years old and (14)________ birth to ten children
Who (15)______________ the dishes and (16)________ 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 food from the table
And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level,
Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
That sailed through the air and came down through the room,
Doomed and determined to (17)______________ all the gentle.
And she never (18)________ 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 your tears.

In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel
To show that all's equal and (19)________ the courts are on the level
And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded
And (20)________ even the nobles get (21)________________ handled
Once (22)________ the cops have chased (23)__________ and (24)____________ 'em
And that the ladder 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 (25)______________ warnin'.
And he spoke through his cloak, (26)________ deep and distinguished,
And handed 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 (27)________ face
For now's the time for your tears.
