Percy's Song

Bad News bad news has come to where I sleep Turn turn turn again                                                 (walk down bass to ) Saying one of my friends is in trouble deep Turn turn to the wind and the rain        Tell me the trouble tell me once to my ears Turn turn turn again                                                 (walk down bass to ) Joliet Prison for ninety-nine years Turn turn to the wind and the rain        A crash on the highway threw a car into a field Turn turn turn again                                                          (walk down bass to ) There were four people killed and he was at the wheel Turn turn to the wind and the rain        But I know him as well as I know my own self Turn turn turn again                                                              (walk down bass to ) And he wouldn’t harm a life that belonged to someone else Turn turn to the wind and the rain        "That may be so" said the judge from the side of his mouth Turn turn turn again                                                      (walk down bass to ) But the witness who saw it he left little doubt Turn turn to the wind and the rain       He may he may have a sentence for to serve Turn turn turn again                                                    (walk down bass to ) But ninety-nine years he just does not deserve Turn turn to the wind and the rain        Too late too late for his case it is sealed Turn turn turn again                                                         (walk down bass to ) His sentence it is passed and it cannot be repealed Turn turn to the wind and the rain        But he ain’t no criminal and his crime it is none Turn turn turn again                                                            (walk down bass to ) And what happened to him could have happened to anyone Turn turn to the wind and the rain        At that the judge jerked forward and his face it did freeze Turn turn turn again                                                         (walk down bass to ) Saying "Would you kindly leave my office now please" Turn turn to the wind and the rain        I squinted my eyes and I stood up so slow Turn turn turn again                                              (walk down bass to ) With no other choice except for me to go Turn turn to the wind and the rain        Well I walked down the hall and I heard his door slam Turn turn turn again                                                          (walk down bass to ) I walked down the stairs but I could not understand Turn turn to the wind and the rain        I played my guitar through the night and through the day Turn turn turn again                                                 (walk down bass to ) But the only tune that my guitar would play Was oh how cruel the wind and the rain
