Pistol ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the hall
She sees a bartender in a pool of
out my God, they killed them all
Here comes the story of the
The man the authorities to blame
For somethin' that he never
Put in a prison cell, but one time he been
The champion of the

Three bodies lyin' does Patty see
And another man named Bello, around mysteriously
I do it, he says, and he throws up his hands
I was only robbin' the register, I you understand
I saw leavin', he says, and he stops
One of us had better up the cops
And so Patty calls the
And they arrive on the scene with their red 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 middleweight
Had no idea what kinda was about to go down
When a cop pulled him over to the of the road
like 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 up on the street
you want to draw the heat

Alfred Bello had a and he had a rap for the cops
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out around
He said, I saw two men runnin' out, looked like middleweights
They jumped into a car with out-of-state plates
And Miss Valentine just nodded her head
Cop said, a minute, boys, this one's not dead
So they him to the infirmary
And this man could hardly see
They told him he could identify the guilty men

Four in the mornin' and they Rubin in
They took him to the hospital and brought him upstairs
The wounded man up through his one dyin' eye
Says, wha'd you bring him in here He ain't the guy!
Here's the of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to
For somethin' that he never
Put in a prison cell, but one he could-a been
The champion of the

Four months later, the ghettos are in
Rubin's in South America, for his name
While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the game
And the are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to blame
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 been that fighter that you saw runnin' that night
forget that you are white

Arthur Dexter said I'm really not sure
The cops said a boy like you could use a break
We got you for the job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello
You don't have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow
You'll be doin' society a
That sonofabitch is brave and braver
We want to put his ass in
We want to pin triple murder on him
He no Gentleman Jim

Rubin could a man out with just one punch
But he never did like to about it all that much
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 and the air is nice
And ride a along a trail
But then they him to the jailhouse
Where try to turn a man into a mouse

All of Rubin's cards were marked in
The trial was a pig-circus, he had a chance
The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards the slums
To the white 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 though could 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 baldly lied
And the newspapers, they all went for the ride
How can the life of a man
Be in the of some fool's hand
To see him obviously
Couldn't help but make me ashamed to live in a land
Where is a game

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