@ lancerooke......Directly or indirectly, he caused Hattie's death. You simply cannot get around that.

Laura Rodriguez

William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie CarrollWith a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring fingerAt a Baltimore hotel society gath’rin’And the cops were called in and his weapon took from himAs they rode him in custody down to the stationAnd booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murderAnd you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fearsTake the rag away from your faceNow ain’t the time for your tearsWilliam Zanzinger, who at twenty-four yearsOwns a tobacco farm of six hundred acresWith rich wealthy parents who provide and protect himAnd high office relations in the politics of MarylandReacted to his deed with a shrug of his shouldersAnd swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarlingIn a matter of minutes on bail was out walkingAnd you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fearsTake the rag away from your faceNow ain’t the time for your tearsHattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchenShe was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten childrenWho cleaned up the dishes and took out the garbageAnd never sat once at the head of the tableAnd didn’t even speak to the people at the tableWho just cleaned up all the food from the tableAnd emptied the ashtrays on a whole other levelGot killed by a blow, lay slain by a caneThat sailed through the air and came down through the roomDoomed and determined to destroy all the gentleAnd she never done nothing to William ZanzingerBut you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fearsTake the rag away from your faceNow ain’t the time for your tearsIn the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavelTo show that all’s equal and that the courts are on the levelAnd that the strings in the books ain’t pulled and persuadedAnd that even the nobles get properly handledOnce that the cops have chased after and caught ’emAnd that the ladder of law has no top and no bottomStared at the person who killed for no reasonWho just happened to be feelin’ that way without warnin’And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguishedAnd handed out strongly, for penalty and repentanceWilliam Zanzinger with a six-month sentenceOh, but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fearsBury the rag deep in your faceFor now’s the time for your tears

Another knockout song from Dylan

Antonio Roberto Macae

One of my favorite Dylan's songs, although the sad story...

Gaia Moonflower

Nice tuning job.. It's not time and then again… Now is the only time for tears. That must have been the time, when all the songs sounded like "Where have you gone, my blue eyed son", "it's a hard, it's a hard" and more things much similar, with words. Is that the phase Bob says he can't repeat anymore? Bob can truly open up and truly let me see what his life was like. Not any other time ever gave me the opportunity to get to know him better. Word smith poet! He can too, he's just proven he can come up with more than any other artist before (him). He has served the peoples of the world. And BTW it's still like this in some parts of the South. The deep South.

Gordon Harris

Seems so long since fist heard this. It still works. Powerful reminder that change has come but the same stuff happens still x

robert lyons

Luigi Fazio

A sad story...

Irene Cortés

Després de tants anys, és un plaer tornar-la a escoltar...

Great pic show, elegantly put together to evoke emotions,excellent version. If the audience saw your vid during his song, the applause would be twice as loud.

As Zim now says "I was much older when I did this stuff"..................so.o.o. moving & desperately sad like so much of his 'protest' during early 1960's.....what a legacy he'll leave.
