Percy's Song Lyrics - Biograph - Bob Dylan

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 what's 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 

I'd be there on Wednesday night, 

Turn, turn to the rain 

And the wind. 

Photos 

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 I'm knowin' myself, 

Turn, turn, turn again. 

And he wouldn't 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, 

He's got a sentence to serve, 

Turn, turn, turn again. 

But ninety-nine years, 

He just don't 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And it cannot be repealed, 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 ain't 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."
