《The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll》歌词

[00:00:01] THE LONESOME DEATH OF HATTIE CARROLL - BOB DYLAN

[00:00:26] William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll

[00:00:30] With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ringed finger

[00:00:34] At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin'

[00:00:38] And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him

[00:00:42] As they rode him in custody down to the station

[00:00:46] And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder

[00:00:54] But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears

[00:01:02] Take the rag away from your face

[00:01:07] Now ain't the time for your tears

[00:01:20] William Zanzinger who had twenty-four years

[00:01:24] Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres

[00:01:28] With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him

[00:01:32] And high office relations in the politics of Maryland

[00:01:36] Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders

[00:01:40] And swear words and sneering and his tongue it was a' snarling

[00:01:44] And in a matter of minutes on bail was out walking

[00:01:51] But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears

[00:02:00] Take the rag away from your face

[00:02:04] Now ain't the time for your tears

[00:02:26] Hattie Carroll was a maid in the kitchen

[00:02:29] She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children

[00:02:33] Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage

[00:02:38] And never sat once at the head of the table

[00:02:42] Who just cleaned up all the food from the table

[00:02:46] And emptied the ashtrays on the whole lower level

[00:02:50] Got killed by a blow lay slain by a cane

[00:02:54] That sailed through the air and came down through the room

[00:02:58] Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle

[00:03:02] And she never done nothin' to William Zanzinger

[00:03:10] And you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears

[00:03:18] Take the rag away from your face

[00:03:22] Now ain't the time for your tears

[00:03:51] In the courtroom of honor the judge pounded his gavel

[00:03:55] To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level

[00:03:59] And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded

[00:04:03] And that even the nobles get properly handled

[00:04:07] Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em

[00:04:12] And that ladder of law has no top and no bottom

[00:04:16] Stared at the person who killed for no reason

[00:04:20] Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin'

[00:04:24] And he spoke through his cloak most deep and distinguished

[00:04:28] And handed out strongly for penalty and repentance

[00:04:32] William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence

[00:04:39] Ah but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears

[00:04:48] Bury the rag deep in your face

[00:04:52] For now's the time for your tears
