Zanzinger killed Hattie Carroll
With a cane that he twirled 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 to the station
And William for first-degree murder.
But you who philosophize disgrace and all fears,
Take the rag from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years
Owns a farm of six hundred acres
rich who and him
And high office relations in the politics of Maryland,
Reacted to his 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,
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 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 to the people at the table
Who just up all the food from the table
And emptied the on a whole other level,
Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
That sailed through the air and came through the room,
Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle.
And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger.
But you who disgrace and criticize all fears,
the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for tears.

In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel
To show that all's and that the courts are on the level
And the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded
And that even the get properly handled
Once that the cops have chased and caught 'em
And 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 without warnin'.
And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguished,
And out strongly, for penalty and repentance,
William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence.
Oh, but you who disgrace and criticize all fears,
the rag deep in face
For now's the time for your tears.
