At a Baltimore hotel (1)______________ gath'rin'.
And the (2)________ (3)________ called in and his weapon took from him

Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years
Owns a (4)______________ farm of six hundred acres
With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him
And high office (5)__________________ in the (6)________________ of Maryland,
Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders
And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling,
In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

Hattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchen.
She was fifty-one years old and gave (7)__________ to ten children
Who (8)______________ the (9)____________ and took out the garbage

Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
That sailed (12)______________ the air and came down (13)______________ the room,
Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle.
And she (14)__________ done nothing to William Zanzinger.
But you who (15)________________________ disgrace and criticize all fears,

Once that the (17)________ have (18)____________ (19)__________ and caught 'em
And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom,

And he (20)__________ through his cloak, most (21)________ and distinguished,
And handed out strongly, for penalty and repentance,
William Zanzinger (22)________ a six-month sentence.
Oh, but you who (23)________________________ (24)________________ and criticize all fears,
Bury the rag deep in (25)________ face
For now's the time for your tears.
