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And cannot be repealed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