Align:    
  • Bad news, bad news,
  • Come to me where I sleep,
  • Turn, turn, turn again.
  • Sayin one of your friends
  • Is in trouble deep,
  • Turn, turn to the rain
  • And the wind.
  • Tell me the trouble,
  • Tell once to my ear,
  • Turn, turn, turn again.
  • Joliet prison
  • And ninety-nine years,
  • Turn, turn to the rain
  • And the wind.
  • Oh whats the charge
  • Of how this came to be,
  • Turn, turn, turn again.
  • Manslaughter
  • In the highest of 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
  • Id 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.
  • Could ya tell me the facts?
  • I said without fear,
  • Turn, turn, turn again.
  • That a friend of mine
  • Would 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 Im knowin myself,
  • Turn, turn, turn again.
  • And he wouldnt harm a life
  • That belonged to someone else,
  • Turn, turn to the rain
  • And the wind.
  • The judge spoke
  • Out of the side of his mouth,
  • Turn, turn, turn again.
  • Sayin, the witness who saw,
  • He left little doubt,
  • Turn, turn to the rain
  • And the wind.
  • That may be true,
  • Hes got a sentence to serve,
  • Turn, turn, turn again.
  • But ninety-nine years,
  • He just dont 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 is passed
  • And it cannot be repealed,
  • Turn, turn to the rain
  • And the wind.
  • But he aint 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.
  • And at that the judge jerked forward
  • And his face it did freeze,
  • Turn, turn, turn again.
  • Sayin, could you kindly leave
  • My office now, please,
  • Turn, turn to the rain
  • And the wind.
  • Well 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 I 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, oh the cruel rain
  • And the wind.
