Luyện nghe bài hát Hurricane

Pistol shots out in the barroom night
Enter Patty from the upper hall
She sees a bartender in a pool of
out my God, they killed them all
Here the story 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 of the world

Three bodies there does Patty see
And man named Bello, movin' around mysteriously
I didn't do it, he says, and he throws up his
I was only the register, I hope you understand
I saw them leavin', he says, and he
One of us had better up the cops
And so Patty the cops
And they on the scene with their red lights flashin'
In the hot New night

Meanwhile, far in another part of town
Rubin 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 him over to the side of the road
Just like the time before and the before that
In Paterson that's just the way go
If you're black you as well not show up on the street
'Less you want to draw the

Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
Him and Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around
He said, I saw two men runnin' out, they looked like
They jumped into a white car out-of-state plates
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her
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

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

Four later, the ghettos are in flame
in South America, fightin' for his name
While Arthur Bradley's still in the robbery game
And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, for somebody to blame
Remember that murder happened in a bar
Remember you you saw the getaway car
You think you'd like to ball with the law
Think it might-a been that that you saw runnin' that night
forget that you are white

Arthur Dexter said I'm really not sure
The cops a poor boy like you could use a break
We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your Bello
You wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow
You'll be society a favor
That is brave 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 with 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 over I'd just as go on my way
Up to some
Where the streams flow and the air is nice
And ride a horse along a
But then took him to the jailhouse
Where they try to turn a man a mouse

All of cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he had a chance
The judge Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the folks he was just a crazy nigger
No one doubted that he pulled the
And though could not produce the gun
The D.A. said he was the one who did the
And the all-white agreed

Carter was falsely tried
The was murder one, guess who testified
Bello and Bradley and both baldly lied
And the newspapers, they all along for the ride
How can the life of a man
Be in the palm of some hand
To see him obviously
Couldn't but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Where justice is a

Now all the criminals in their and their ties
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun
Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a hell
That's the story of the
But it won't be over till they his name
And give him back the time he's
Put in a prison cell, but one time he been
The champion of the
