Pistol shots ring out in the night
Patty Valentine from the upper hall
She sees the bartender in a pool of
out, "My God, they killed them all"

Here comes the story of the
The man, the came to blame
For that he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one he could-a been
The of the world

bodies lyin' there, does Patty see?
And another man named Bello, movin' mysteriously
"I didn't do it," he says, and he throws up his
"I was only robbin' the register, I hope you

I saw them leavin'" he says, and he
"One of us had better up the cops"
And so calls the cops
And they arrive on the with their red lights flashin'
In the hot New Jersey

Meanwhile, far in another part of town
Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around
Number one contender for the crown
Had no idea what kinda was about to go down
When a cop him over to the side of the road

Just like the time before and the time that
In Paterson that's just the way go
If you're black you as well not show up on the street
you wanna draw the heat

Alfred Bello had a and he had a rap for the cops
Him and Arthur Dexter were just out prowlin' around
He said, "I saw two men runnin' out, they like middleweights
They into a white car with out-of-state plates"

And Miss Patty Valentine just her head
Cop said, "Wait a minute, boys, this not dead"
So took him to the infirmary
And though man could hardly see
They told him that he could identify the men

Four in the mornin' and they haul in
Take him to the and they bring him upstairs
The wounded man looks up his one dyin' eye
Says, "Wha'd you him in here for? He ain't the guy"

Yes, here's the of the hurricane
The man the authorities to blame
For somethin' that he never
Put in a prison cell, but one he could-a been
The champion of the

Four months later, the ghettos are in
Rubin's in South America, for his name
While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the game
And the cops are the screws to him
for somebody to blame

"Remember that murder happened in a bar?"
"Remember you said you saw the car?"
"You you'd like to play ball with the law?"
"Think it might-a been fighter that you saw runnin' that night?"
"Don't forget you are white"

Arthur Dexter Bradley said, "I'm not sure"
Cops said, "A boy like you could use a break
We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend
Now you don't wanta to go back to jail, be a nice fellow

You'll be doin' a favor
That sonofabitch is and gettin' braver
We to put his ass in stir
We want to pin triple murder on him
He ain't no Jim"

Rubin could take a man out just one punch
But he never did like to talk it all that much
my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay
And when over I'd just as soon go on my way

Up to some
Where the streams flow and the air is nice
And ride a horse a trail
But then they took him to the
Where they try to a man into a mouse

All of Rubin's cards marked in advance
The was a pig-circus, he never had a chance
The judge made witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who watched he was a bum

And to the black folks he was just a nigger
No one doubted that he the trigger
And though could not produce the gun
The D.A. said he was the one who did the
And the jury agreed

Rubin was falsely tried
The crime was one, guess who testified?
Bello and Bradley and they both lied
And the newspapers, they all went along for the

How can the of such a man
Be in the palm of some hand?
To see him obviously
Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to in a land
Where is a game

Now all the criminals in their coats and their
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a cell
An innocent man in a living

the story of the hurricane
But it won't be over till clear his name
And give him back the time he's
Put in a prison cell, but one time he been
The of the world
