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

comes the story of the hurricane
The man, the authorities to blame
For that he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he been
The of the world

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

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

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

Just the time before and the time before that
In that's just the way things go
If you're black you might as well not show up on the
'Less you wanna the heat

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

And Miss Patty Valentine nodded her head
Cop said, "Wait a minute, boys, one's not dead"
So they took him to the
And this man could hardly see
told him that he could identify the guilty men

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

Yes, the story of the hurricane
The man the authorities came to
For somethin' that he never
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a
The champion of the

Four months later, the are in flame
Rubin's in South America, 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 said you saw the car?"
"You think you'd to play ball with the law?"
"Think it might-a been that that you saw runnin' that night?"
"Don't forget you are white"

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

You'll be doin' society a
sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver
We to put his ass in stir
We want to pin triple murder on him
He no gentleman Jim"

Rubin could take a man out with 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 it's I'd just as soon go on my way

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

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

And to the black he was just a crazy nigger
No one doubted that he pulled the
And though they could not the gun
The D.A. said he was the one who did the
And the all-white agreed

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

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

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

That's the of the hurricane
But it won't be till they clear his name
And give him back the time done
Put in a prison cell, but one he could-a been
The champion of the
