[00:12.29]William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll
[00:15.41]
[00:17.99]With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger
[00:21.94]
[00:24.13]At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin'
[00:27.15]And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him
[00:33.76]
[00:36.18]As they rode him in custody down to the station
[00:39.71]
[00:41.99]And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder
[00:46.41]
[00:52.27]But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears
[00:57.19]
[00:58.40]Take the rag away from your face
[01:02.13]
[01:02.86]Now ain't the time for your tears
[01:06.01]
[01:08.28]William Zanzinger who at twenty-four years
[01:10.32]
[01:11.45]Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres
[01:16.42]With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him
[01:20.27]And high office relations in the politics of Maryland
[01:24.40]Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders
[01:28.23]And swear words and sneering and his tongue it was snarling
[01:32.16]In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking
[01:35.95]
[01:40.12]But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears
[01:46.89]
[01:48.32]Take the rag away from your face
[01:52.39]Now ain't the time for your tears
[01:54.74]
[01:58.19]Hattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchen
[02:01.82]
[02:04.96]She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children
[02:08.14]
[02:10.31]Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage
[02:14.06]
[02:16.31]And never sat once at the head of the table
[02:20.23]And didn't even talk to the people at the table
[02:24.18]Who just cleaned up all the food from the table
[02:28.70]And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level
[02:31.60]
[02:32.43]Got killed by a blow lay slain by a cane
[02:36.09]That sailed through the air and came down through the room
[02:39.94]
[02:40.45]Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle
[02:43.64]And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger
[02:47.49]
[02:51.99]But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears
[02:58.89]
[03:00.25]Take the rag away from your face
[03:04.08]Now ain't the time for your tears
[03:07.30]
[03:14.17]In the courtroom of honor the judge pounded his gavel
[03:17.59]
[03:20.35]To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level
[03:23.57]
[03:25.91]And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded
[03:30.15]And that even the nobles get properly handled
[03:33.61]
[03:34.85]Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em
[03:37.99]And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom
[03:41.75]
[03:42.36]Stared at the person who killed for no reason
[03:46.18]Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin'
[03:50.02]And he spoke through his cloak most deep and distinguished
[03:53.89]And handed out strongly for penalty and repentance
[03:57.90]
[03:58.71]William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence
[04:01.79]
[04:06.70]Oh but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears
[04:12.99]
[04:14.41]Bury the rag deep in your face
[04:18.24]For now's the time for your tears
