C Am Em
William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll
C Am Em
With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger
C Am Em
At a Baltimore hotel society gathering
C Am Em
And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him
C Am Em
As they rode him in custody down to the station
C Am Em G
And booked William Zanzinger for 1st degree murder
F G Riff C Am F G Riff C
But you who philosophise disgrace and criticise fears
F G Riff C Am F G
Riff C
Take the rag away from your face now ain't the time for your tears
