Turn, turn, turn again
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind
At that the judge jumped forward
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind
And I played my guitar
And I stood up so slow
As I'm knowing myself
But ninety nine years, he just don't deserve
That a friend of mine
And his face it did freeze
Too late, too late, for his case it is sealed
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind
I'd be there on Wednesday night
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind
Turn, turn, turn again
Turn, turn, turn again
Juliet prison and ninety nine years
Saying the witness who saw
Tell me once to my ear
Explaining to the judge
And the only tune my guitar could play
How this came to be?
Turn, turn, turn again
Turn, turn, turn again
By the next afternoon
I walked down the courthouse stairs
Tell me the trouble
And his crime it is none
Say, one of your friends is in trouble deep
But I knew him as good
Turn, turn, turn again
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind
And he was at the wheel
Oh, what's the charge of
Turn, turn, turn again
That belonged to someone else
The judge, he spoke out of the side of his mouth
I sat down and wrote
Through the night to the day
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind
"Would you tell me the facts"
And was in his chambers
Turn, turn, turn again
Manslaughter in the highest degree
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind
Turn, turn, turn again
The best words I could write
And cannot be repealed
My office now please?
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind
Turn, turn, turn again
His eyes looked funny
Turn, turn, turn again
Could get ninety nine years
I said without fear
Turn, turn, turn again
His sentence it is passed
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind
And I heard his door slam
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind
Turn, turn, turn again
Turn, turn, turn again
That may be true, he's got a sentence to serve
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind
Saying could you kindly leave
What happened to him could happen to anyone
With no other choice, except for to go
And did not understand
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind
I walked down the hallway
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind
Without a reply, I left by the moon
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind
There was four persons killed
A crash on the highway flew the car to a field
He left without doubt
Turn, turn, turn again
Turn, turn, turn again
And he wouldn't harm a life
But he ain't no criminal
