[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[04:20.2]And cannot be repealed"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"
