[00:09.07] | |
[00:11.38] | At a Baltimore hotel society gathrin' |
[00:14.38] | |
[00:16.13] | And the cops was called in and his weapon took from him |
[00:19.63] | |
[00:20.88] | As they rode him in custody down to the station |
[00:24.12] | |
[00:25.76] | And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder |
[00:28.82] | |
[00:32.57] | But you who philosophize disgrace |

[01:02.82] | |
[01:04.57] | With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him |
[01:08.20] | |
[01:10.26] | And high office relations in the politics of Maryland |
[01:14.57] | |
[01:16.57] | Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders |
[01:19.89] | |
[01:20.82] | And swear words and sneerin' and his tongue it was snarlin' |
[01:25.95] | |
[01:27.14] | And in a matter of minutes on bail was out walkin' |
[01:31.00] | |
[01:34.89] | But you who philosophize disgrace |

[02:06.07] | She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children |
[02:09.82] | |
[02:12.57] | Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage |
[02:16.07] | |
[02:18.45] | And never sat once at the head of the table |
[02:22.51] | |
[02:23.76] | And didn't even talk to the people at the table |
[02:27.39] | |
[02:28.57] | Who just cleaned up all the food from the table |
[02:32.07] | |
[02:33.63] | And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level |
[02:37.01] | |
[02:38.20] | Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane |
[02:42.01] | |
[02:43.45] | That sailed through the air and came down through the room |
[02:46.95] | |
[02:48.32] | Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle |
[02:51.58] | |
[02:53.07] | And she never done nothin' to William Zanzinger |

[04:17.63] | To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level |
[04:22.00] | |
[04:23.25] | And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded |
[04:26.81] | |
[04:27.82] | And that even the nobles get properly handled |
[04:29.94] | |
[04:32.69] | Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em |
[04:35.50] | |
[04:36.38] | And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom |
[04:40.00] | |
[04:41.19] | Stared at the person who killed for no reason |
[04:45.13] | |
[04:46.88] | Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin' |
[04:50.69] | |
[04:52.38] | And he spoke through his cloak most deep and distinguished |
[04:55.28] | |
[04:57.71] | And handed out strongly for penalty and repentance |
[05:01.08] | |
[05:02.59] | William Zanzinger with a six month sentence |
