Turn, turn, turn again "Manslaughter in the highest degree" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind I sat down and wrote the best words I could write Turn, turn, turn again Explaining to the judge I'd be there on Wednesday night Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind Without a reply, I left by the moon Turn, turn, turn again And was in his chambers by the next afternoon Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind "Would you tell me the facts," I said without fear Turn, turn, turn again "That a friend of mine could get ninety-nine years" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind "A crash on the highway, flew the car to a field" Turn, turn, turn again "There was four persons killed and he was at the wheel" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind "But I knew him as good as I'm knowing myself" Turn, turn, turn again "And he wouldn't harm a life that belonged to someone else" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind The judge he spoke out of the side of his mouth Turn, turn, turn again Saying "The witness who saw, he left without doubt" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind "That may be true, he's got a sentence to serve" Turn, turn, turn again "But ninety-nine years he just don't deserve" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind "Too late, too late, for his case it is sealed" Turn, turn, turn again "His sentence it is passed and cannot be repealed" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind "But he ain't no criminal and his crime it is none" Turn, turn, turn again "What happened to him could happen to anyone" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind At that the judge jumped forward and his face it did freeze Turn, turn, turn again Saying "Could you kindly leave my office now please?" Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind His eyes looked funny and I stood up so slow Turn, turn, turn again With no other choice except for to go Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind I walked down the hallway and I heard his door slam Turn, turn, turn again I walked down the courthouse stairs and did not understand Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind And I played my guitar through the night to the day Turn, turn, turn again And the only tune my guitar could play was "The Old Cruel Rain And The Wind Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Sickness & Diseases, Sir Patrick Spens, Sir William Gower, Sloth, Stranger to Himself, Sun Shade, Tale in Hard Time, Tam Lin, The Bonny Black Hare, The Deserter, The Hexhamshire Lass, The Journeymans Grace, The Journeymans Grace, The Lobster, The Summer Before The War, The Widow Of Westmorlands Daughter, Three Drunken Maidens, Time Will Show the Wiser, To Althea from Prison, Walk Awhile, What Is True?, White Dress, Who Knows Where the Time Goes, Wizard Of The Worldly Game, Ye Mariners All, Alaska, Blood On The Pages, Burn Bridges Keep Warm, Casting Curses, Concrete Atlas, I Dread The Time When Your Mouth Begins To Call Me Hunter, I Dread The Time Your Mouth Beings To Call Me Hunt, If They Move Kill Them, Letter Of Intent, Lusitania, Mercer Island, Motion Sickness, Next Day Flight, Silent Jury, Slow To Standing, Soundtrack To The Ride, South St 1 Am, South Street 1AM, Still Paradise, The Culling Song, The Treachery Of Images, Welcome To Last Year, Whatever It Takes, Who Brings A Knife To A Gunfight, YoungBrashHopeful, Other Fairport Convention song Lyrics A Sailors Life Lyrics After Halloween Lyrics Angel Delight Lyrics Autopsy Lyrics The Banks Of Sweet Primroses Lyrics Big William Lyrics Book Song Lyrics Bring em Down Lyrics Bring Em Down Lyrics Cajun Woman Lyrics Chelsea Morning Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Fairweather Lyrics Fairyland Lyrics Fairytale Lyrics Faith Lyrics Faith And The Muse Lyrics Faith Blind Lyrics Faith Evans Lyrics Faith Evans F/ 112 Lyrics Faith Evans F/ Carl Thomas Lyrics Faith Evans F/ Mary J.
