[00:01.1]Bad news, bad news, [00:03.44]Come to me [00:04.28]where I sleep, [00:06.23]Turn, turn, turn again. [00:11.45]Sayin' one of your friends， [00:14.30]Is in trouble deep, [00:17.7]Turn, turn to the rain， [00:20.80]And the wind. [00:27.21]Tell me the trouble, [00:29.24]Tell me once to my ear, [00:32.31]Turn, turn, turn again. [00:37.62]Joliet prison， [00:39.83]And ninety-nine years, [00:42.55]Turn, turn to the rain， [00:46.22]And the wind. [00:52.79]Oh what's the charge. [00:55.8]Of how this came to be, [00:57.88]Turn, turn, turn again. [01:02.32]Manslaughter， [01:04.47]In the highest of degree, [01:07.50]Turn, turn to the rain， [01:10.66]And the wind. [01:16.46]I sat down and wrote， [01:18.96]The best words I could write, [01:21.78]Turn, turn, turn again. [01:26.75]Explaining to the judge， [01:29.20]I'd be there on Wednesday night, [01:31.97]Turn, turn to the rain， [01:35.39]And the wind. [01:41.38]Without a reply, [01:43.34]I left by the moon, [01:46.37]Turn, turn, turn again. [01:51.28]And was in his chambers， [01:53.94]By the next afternoon, [01:56.68]Turn, turn to the rain， [02:00.50]And the wind. [02:06.7]Could you tell me the facts? [02:08.52]I said without fear, [02:11.45]Turn, turn, turn again. [02:16.20]That a friend of mine， [02:18.50]Should get ninety-nine years, [02:21.48]Turn, turn to the rain， [02:24.80]And the wind. [02:30.44]A crash on the highway， [02:32.68]Flew the car to a field, [02:35.14]Turn, turn, turn again. [02:40.26]There were four persons killed， [02:43.17]And he was at the wheel, [02:45.96]Turn, turn to the rain， [02:49.7]And the wind. [02:55.23]"But I knew him as good [02:58.23]As I'm knowing myself" [03:00.51]Turn, turn, turn again [03:05.42]"And he wouldn't harm a life [03:07.72]That belonged to someone else" [03:10.38]Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind [03:19.86]The judge he spoke [03:21.69]Out of the side of his mouth [03:24.41]Turn, turn, turn again [03:28.2]Saying "The witness who saw, [03:30.63]He left without doubt" [03:33.14]Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind [03:43.97]"That may be true, [03:46.21]He's got a sentence to serve" [03:48.83]Turn, turn, turn again [03:53.63]"But ninety-nine years [03:55.85]He just don't deserve" [03:58.75]Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind [04:08.23]"Too late, too late, [04:10.27]For his case it is sealed" [04:12.70]Turn, turn, turn again [04:17.77]"His sentence it is passed [04:20.2]And cannot be repealed" [04:22.84]Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind [04:31.62]"But he ain't no criminal [04:33.97]And his crime it is none" [04:36.63]Turn, turn, turn again [04:41.65]"What happened to him [04:43.95]Could happen to anyone" [04:46.61]Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind [04:56.62]At that the judge jumped forward [04:59.24]And his face it did freeze [05:01.90]Turn, turn, turn again [05:06.55]Saying "Could you kindly leave [05:09.16]My office now please?" [05:11.57]Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind [05:21.0]His eyes looked funny [05:23.19]And I stood up so slow [05:25.85]Turn, turn, turn again [05:30.82]With no other choice except for to go [05:36.4]Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind [05:44.79]I walked down the hallway [05:47.35]And I heard his door slam [05:50.7]Turn, turn, turn again [05:54.93]I walked down the courthouse stairs [05:57.70]And did not understand [06:00.10]Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind [06:09.11]And I played my guitar [06:11.36]Through the night to the day [06:14.13]Turn, turn, turn again [06:19.25]And the only tune my guitar could play [06:24.47]Was "The Old Cruel Rain And The Wind"
