Luyện nghe bài hát Hurricane

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom
Patty Valentine from the upper hall
She sees a bartender in a of blood
out my God, they killed them all
Here the story of the Hurricane
The man the came to blame
For somethin' he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he been
The champion of the

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 you understand
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 scene with 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 middleweight
Had no idea what kinda was about to go down
When a cop pulled him over to the of the road
Just like the time before and the before that
In Paterson just the way things go
If you're black you might as well not show up on the
'Less you want to draw the

Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
Him and Arthur Dexter were just out prowlin' around
He said, I saw two men out, they looked like middleweights
They jumped into a white car out-of-state plates
And Miss Valentine just nodded her head
Cop said, wait a minute, boys, this not dead
So they took him to the
And though man could hardly see
They him that he could identify the guilty men

in the mornin' and they haul Rubin in
They took him to the hospital and they brought him
The wounded man looks up through his one eye
Says, you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy!
Here's the story of the
The man the authorities came to
For somethin' that he never
Put in a prison cell, but one he could-a been
The of the world

months later, the ghettos are in flame
Rubin's in South America, fightin' for his
While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery
And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to
that murder that happened in a bar
Remember you said you saw the car
You think like to play ball with the law
it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that night
Don't forget you are white

Arthur Dexter Bradley said I'm not sure
The said a poor boy like you could use a break
We got you for the job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello
You don't wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice
You'll be doin' a favor
sonofabitch 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 take a man out with just one
But he never did like to talk about it all that
It's my work, say, and I do it for pay
And when it's over I'd just as go on my way
Up to some
the trout streams flow and the air is nice
And a horse along a trail
But then they took him to the
Where they try to turn a man a mouse

All of Rubin's cards marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he had a chance
The judge made witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black he was just a crazy nigger
No one doubted that he pulled the
And they 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 murder one, guess who
Bello and Bradley and both baldly lied
And the newspapers, all went along for the ride
How can the life of a man
Be in the palm of some hand
To see him obviously
Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a
Where justice is a

Now all the criminals in their coats and their
Are to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
While sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a living
the story of the Hurricane
But it won't be over till they his name
And give him back the time he's
Put in a cell, but one time he could-a been
The of the world
