Luyện nghe bài hát Hurricane

Pistol ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper
She sees the bartender in a of blood
out, "My God, they killed them all"

Here the story of the hurricane
The man, the authorities came to
For somethin' that he done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a
The champion of the

Three lyin' there, does Patty see?
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 call up the cops"
And so Patty calls the
And they arrive on the with their red lights flashin'
In the hot New night

Meanwhile, far away in part of town
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are around
one contender for the middleweight crown
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go
a cop pulled 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 might as not show up on the street
'Less you draw the heat

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

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

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

Yes, here's the story of the
The man the authorities came to
For somethin' he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a
The of the world

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

"Remember murder that happened in a bar?"
"Remember you said you saw the car?"
"You think you'd like to ball with the law?"
"Think it might-a been that fighter you saw runnin' that night?"
"Don't forget 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 motel job and we're to your friend Bello
Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail, be a fellow

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

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

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

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

And to the black folks he was a crazy nigger
No one doubted that he the trigger
And though they not produce the gun
The D.A. said he was the one who did the
And the all-white jury

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

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

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

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