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[04:20.2]	And cannot be repealed"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

[00:01.1]	Bad news, bad news,
