Lyrics Percy's Song (Live on John Peel's Top Gear) - Fairport Convention
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.
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repealed,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."
