?[01:00.78]Bad news, bad news,
[01:03.70]Come to me where I sleep,
[08:26.24][07:42.33][07:17.39][06:27.22][06:03.06][05:39.60][05:15.08][04:50.84][04:26.61][04:02.15][03:36.60][02:47.53][02:23.14][01:58.10][01:31.74][01:06.93]Turn, turn, turn again.
[01:11.87]Sayin' one of your friends
[01:14.47]Is in trouble deep,
[07:50.28][07:26.52][06:37.36][06:13.09][05:49.10][05:25.19][05:00.91][04:36.86][04:12.18][03:46.81][02:57.96][02:33.09][02:08.55][01:42.65][01:18.23]Turn, turn to the rain
[07:53.46][07:29.97][06:40.23][06:16.22][05:52.31][05:28.12][05:03.97][04:39.65][04:15.39][03:49.87][03:01.02][02:36.55][02:17.04][01:45.94][01:21.12]And the wind.
[01:27.14]Tell me the trouble,
[01:28.25]Tell once to my ear,
[01:37.26]Joliet prison
[01:39.37]And ninety-nine years,
[01:52.32]Oh what's the charge
[01:54.90]Of how this came to be,
[02:03.21]Manslaughter
[02:05.35]In the highest of degree,
[02:19.42]I sat down and wrote
[02:21.44]The best words I could write,
[02:27.29]Explaining to the judge
[02:29.80]I'd be there on Wednesday night,
[02:41.72]Without a reply,
[02:44.54]I left by the moon,
[02:51.60]And was in his chambers
[02:54.54]By the next afternoon,
[03:31.01]Could ya tell me the facts?
[03:33.27]I said without fear,
[03:40.87]That a friend of mine
[03:43.56]Would get ninety-nine years,
[03:56.31]A crash on the highway
[03:59.00]Flew the car to a field,
[04:06.17]There was four persons killed
[04:09.14]And he was at the wheel,
[04:20.35]But I knew him as good
[04:22.94]As I'm knowin' myself,
[04:30.72]And he wouldn't harm a life
[04:33.19]That belonged to someone else,
[04:45.00]The judge spoke
[04:47.44]Out of the side of his mouth,
[04:55.11]Sayin', "The witness who saw,
[04:58.01]He left little doubt,"
[05:09.24]That may be true,
[05:12.08]He's got a sentence to serve,
[05:19.48]But ninety-nine years,
[05:22.03]He just don't deserve,
[05:33.36]Too late, too late,
[05:35.89]For his case it is sealed,
[05:43.46]His sentence is passed
[05:47.32]And it cannot be repealed,
[05:57.08]But he ain't no criminal
[05:59.66]And his crime it is none,
[06:07.25]What happened to him
[06:09.87]Could happen to anyone,
[06:21.50]And at that the judge jerked forward
[06:24.40]And his face it did freeze,
[06:32.12]Sayin', "Could you kindly leave
[06:33.99]My office now, please,"
[07:11.75]Well his eyes looked funny
[07:13.60]And I stood up so slow,
[07:21.11]With no other choice
[07:24.25]Except for to go,
[07:35.19]I walked down the hallway
[07:38.84]And I heard his door slam,
[07:44.73]I walked down the courthouse stairs
[07:47.53]And I did not understand,
[08:20.88]And I played my guitar
[08:23.04]Through the night to the day,
[08:30.48]And the only tune
[08:32.98]My guitar could play
[08:35.85]Was, "Oh the Cruel Rain
[08:39.51]And the Wind."
