《The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll》歌词

[00:00:01] The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll - Judy Collins
[00:00:19] William Zantzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll
[00:00:23] With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger
[00:00:29] At a Baltimore hotel society gathering
[00:00:34] And the cops were called in
[00:00:36] And his weapon took from him
[00:00:38] As they rode him in custody down to the station
[00:00:44] And booked William Zantzinger for first degree murder
[00:00:53] But you who philosophize disgrace
[00:01:01] And criticize all fears
[00:01:07] Take the rag away from your face
[00:01:14] Now ain't the time for your tears
[00:01:24] William Zantzinger who at twenty four years
[00:01:28] Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres
[00:01:32] With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him
[00:01:37] And high office relations in the politics of Maryland
[00:01:42] Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders
[00:01:46] And swear words and sneering
[00:01:48] And his tongue it was snarling
[00:01:51] In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking
[00:02:00] But you who philosophize disgrace
[00:02:09] And criticize all fears
[00:02:15] Take the rag away from your face
[00:02:22] Now ain't the time for your tears
[00:02:31] Hattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchen
[00:02:35] She was fifty one years old
[00:02:37] And gave birth to ten children
[00:02:42] Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage
[00:02:46] And never sat once at the head of the table
[00:02:50] And didn't even talk to the people at the table
[00:02:56] Who just cleaned up all the food from the table
[00:03:01] And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level
[00:03:08] Got killed by a blow lay slain by a cane
[00:03:12] That sailed through the air and came down through the room
[00:03:18] Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle
[00:03:24] And she never done nothing to William Zantzinger
[00:03:36] But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears
[00:03:48] Take the rag away from your face
[00:03:55] Now ain't the time for your tears
[00:04:04] In the courtroom of honor
[00:04:06] The judge pounded his gavel
[00:04:09] To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level
[00:04:13] And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded
[00:04:17] And that even the nobles get properly handled
[00:04:22] Once that the cops have chased after and caught them
[00:04:26] And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom
[00:04:34] Stared at the person who killed for no reason
[00:04:40] Who just happened to be feeling that way without warnin
[00:04:47] And he spoke through his cloak
[00:04:49] Most deep and distinguished
[00:04:51] And handed out strongly
[00:04:54] For penalty and repentance
[00:04:58] William Zantzinger with a six month sentence
[00:05:07] Oh but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears
[00:05:24] Bury the rag deep in your face
[00:05:32] For now's the time for your tears
