Current song lyrics
William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll<br />With a cane that he twirled <br />around his diamond ring finger<br />At a Baltimore hotel <br />society gath'rin'.<br />And the cops were called<br />in and his weapon took from him<br />As they rode him in custody <br />down to the station<br />And booked William Zanzinger <br />for first-degree murder.<br />But you who philosophize disgrace<br />and criticize all fears,<br />Take the rag away from your face.<br />Now ain't the time for your tears.<br /> <br />William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years<br />Owns a tobacco farm<br />of six hundred acres<br />With rich wealthy parent<br />who provide and protect him<br />And high office relations<br />in the politics of Maryland,<br />Reacted to his deed <br />with a shrug of his shoulders<br />And swear words and sneering, <br />and his tongue it was snarling,<br />In a matter of minutes on bail<br />was out walking.<br />But you who philosophize disgrace<br />and criticize all fears,<br />Take the rag away from your face.<br />Now ain't the time for your tears.<br /> <br />Hattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchen.<br />She was fifty-one years old <br />and gave birth to ten children<br />Who carried the dishes<br />and took out the garbage<br />And never sat once<br />at the head of the table<br />And didn't even talk<br />to the people at the table<br />Who just cleaned up all the food<br />from the table<br />And emptied the ashtrays<br />on a whole other level,<br />Got killed by a blow,<br /> lay slain by a cane<br />That sailed through the air <br />and came down through the room,<br />Doomed and determined <br />to destroy all the gentle.<br />And she never done nothing<br />to William Zanzinger.<br />But you who philosophize disgrace<br />and criticize all fears,<br />Take the rag away from your face.<br />Now ain't the time for your tears.<br /> <br />AIn the courtroom of honor, <br />the judge pounded his gavel<br />To show that all's equal <br />and that the courts are on the level<br />And that the strings in the books<br />ain't pulled and persuaded<br />And that even the nobles<br />get properly handled<br />Once that the cops have chased after<br />and caught 'em<br />And that the ladder of law<br />has no top and no bottom,<br />Stared at the person<br />who killed for no reason<br />Who just happened<br />to be feelin' that way without warnin'.<br />And he spoke through his cloak, <br />most deep and distinguished,<br />And handed out strongly, <br />for penalty and repentance,<br />William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence.<br />Oh, but you who philosophize disgrace<br />and criticize all fears,<br />Bury the rag deep in your face<br />For now's the time<br />for your tears
