Luyện nghe bài hát Hurricane

Pistol shots ring out in the night
Enter Valentine from the upper hall
She the bartender in a pool of blood
Cries out, "My God, they them all"

comes the story of the hurricane
The man, the came to blame
For somethin' that he 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 up his hands
"I was only the register, I hope you understand

I saw leavin'" he says, and he stops
"One of us had call up the cops"
And so calls the cops
And they on the scene with their red lights flashin'
In the hot New night

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

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

Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
Him and Arthur Bradley 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 nodded her
Cop said, "Wait a minute, boys, one's not dead"
So they him to the infirmary
And though man could hardly see
They told him that he could the guilty men

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

Yes, here's the of the hurricane
The man the came to blame
For somethin' that he done
Put in a cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the

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

"Remember that murder happened in a bar?"
"Remember you you saw the getaway 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 that you are white"

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

be doin' society a favor
That is brave and gettin' braver
We to put his ass in stir
We to pin this triple murder on him
He no gentleman Jim"

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

Up to paradise
Where the trout streams flow and the air is
And ride a along a trail
But then they took him to the
Where they try to turn a man into a

All of Rubin's cards were in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he had a chance
The judge made witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who he was a revolutionary bum

And to the black folks he was a crazy nigger
No one that he pulled the trigger
And though they not produce the gun
The D.A. he was the one who did the deed
And the jury agreed

Rubin Carter was falsely
The crime was murder one, guess who
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly
And the newspapers, they all went for the ride

How can the of such a man
Be in the palm of some fool's
To see him obviously
Couldn't help but make me ashamed to live in a land
justice is a game

Now all the criminals in their coats and their
Are free to drink and watch the sun rise
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot
An man in a living hell

That's the of the hurricane
But it be over till they clear his name
And give him back the he's done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a
The champion of the
