    Lyrics
    William Zanzinger killed Hattie Carroll
    With a cane that he twirled on his diamond ring finger
    At a Baltimore hotel society gathering
    The police were called in and his weapon took from him
    They drove him into custody down at the station
    Charged William Zanzinger with First Degree Murder
    And you who philosophise disgrace and criticise my fears
    Take that rag away from your face now's not the time for your tears
    When William Zanzinger was 24
    He was farming tobacco on 600 acres
    With rich wealthy parents to provide and protect him
    High office relations in the politics of Maryland
    Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders
    With sneering and swear words his tongue it was snarling
    In less than 10 minutes on bail was out walking
    And you who philosophise disgrace and criticise my fears,
    Take that rag away from your face now's not the time for your tears.
    Hattie Carroll was a maid who worked in the kitchen
    51 years old she had 10 children
    She carried the dishes and took out the garbage
    She never once sat at the head of the table
    She never even spoke to the people at the table
    Just cleared all the food from the table
    And emptied ashtrays on a whole other level
    Killed by a blow and lay slain by a cane
    That sailed through the air and came down through the room
    Doomed and determined to destroy all that's gentle
    She never did nothing to William Zanzinger
    And you who philosophise disgrace and criticise my fears
    Take that rag away from your face now's not the time for your tears
    At the courtroom of honour the Judge pounded his gavel
    To show all is equal and his court is on the level
    That the strings and the books are not pulled or persuaded
    Even the rich get properly treated
    Once the cops have chased them and caught them
    The ladder of the law has no top and no bottom
    He stared at that man who had killed for no reason
    Who just happened to be feeling that way without warning
    He spoke through his cloak most deep and distinguished
    And handed down strongly form penalty and repentance
    Gave William Zanzinger a 6 month sentence
    And you who philosophise disgrace and criticise my fears
    Bury that rag most deep in your face now is the time for your tears.

    This is the best cover of ANY Dylan song. Saw Bob do it live on 2/24/63 on Steve Allen’s night show. It changed my life No more watching for me, doing began. The March on Washington was 6 months later. Bless Martin & Dylan

    This period of Christy Moore's performing career, when he was touring with just Declan Sinnott for backing, was arguably the best. I saw them at the Barrowlands in 2012 and they were brilliant. This is an excellent version of this song.

      Nowhere quite like the Barrowlands. Christy said it himself, his shows there are special. Seen him there twice in the early 2000's. Amazing nights. Wid love to see him the the concert hall but never got round to that

    Back then this was an incredibly brave song to write and record. Dylan was fearless.

    Its a rare moment when a cover beats the original and when the original was recorded by Dylan then you know it's something special.

    Why doesnt he cram in even more superfluous words and akward phrasings, while strumming even harder with a 1.5mm pick and being even sweatier.
