The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll by Bob Dylan

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

William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years
Owns a tobacco (4)________ of six hundred acres
With rich (5)______________ parents who provide and protect him
And high (6)____________ (7)__________________ in the (8)________________ of Maryland,
Reacted to his deed with a shrug 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,
Take the rag away from (9)________ face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

Hattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchen.
She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children
Who (10)______________ the (11)____________ 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 food from the table
And emptied the ashtrays on a whole (12)__________ level,
Got killed by a blow, lay (13)__________ by a cane
That sailed through the air and came down through the room,
Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle.
And she never (14)________ nothing to William Zanzinger.
But you who (15)________________________ disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag (16)________ from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel
To show (17)________ all's equal 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 that the cops have chased after and (18)____________ 'em
And that the (19)____________ 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, (20)________ (21)________ and distinguished,
And (22)____________ out strongly, for penalty and repentance,
William Zanzinger (23)________ a six-month sentence.
Oh, but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Bury the rag (24)________ in your face
For now's the (25)________ for (26)________ tears.
