[00:00.95]William zanzinger killed poor hattie carroll
[00:09.83]With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger
[00:13.01]At a baltimore hotel society gath'rin'.
[00:15.80]And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him
[00:21.01]As they rode him in custody down to the station
[00:25.43]And booked william zanzinger for first-degree murder.
[00:36.37]But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
[00:42.40]Take the rag away from your face.
[00:47.68]Now ain't the time for your tears.
[00:55.01]
[00:55.35]William zanzinger, who at twenty-four years
[01:01.11]Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres
[01:04.47]With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him
[01:11.75]And high office relations in the politics of maryland,
[01:15.75]Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders
[01:20.93]And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling,
[01:28.26]In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking.
[01:33.69]But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
[01:46.20]Take the rag away from your face.
[01:51.04]Now ain't the time for your tears.
[01:53.86]
[01:58.75]Hattie carroll was a maid of the kitchen.
[02:03.13]She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children
[02:12.11]Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage
[02:18.48]And never sat once at the head of the table
[02:24.27]And didn't even talk to the people at the table
[02:28.61]Who just cleaned up all the food from the table
[02:34.12]And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level,
[02:42.62]Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
[02:43.38]That sailed through the air and came down through the room,
[02:48.30]Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle.
[02:52.65]And she never done nothing to william zanzinger.
[03:00.22]But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
[03:10.74]Take the rag away from your face.
[03:17.64]Now ain't the time for your tears.
[03:21.31]
[04:10.78]In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel
[04:18.58]To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level
[04:23.06]And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded
[04:27.78]And that even the nobles get properly handled
[04:32.74]Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em
[04:36.50]And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom,
[04:42.53]Stared at the person who killed for no reason
[04:46.92]Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin'.
[04:52.89]And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguished,
[04:58.26]And handed out strongly, for penalty and repentance,
[05:02.90]William zanzinger with a six-month sentence.
[05:09.28]Oh, but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
[05:23.43]Bury the rag deep in your face
[05:29.07]For now's the time for your tears.
