Luyện nghe bài hát Hurricane

Pistol ring out in the barroom night
Enter Valentine from the upper hall
She sees a bartender in a pool of
Cries out my God, they killed all
comes 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

bodies lyin' there does Patty see
And another man named Bello, movin' mysteriously
I do it, he says, and he throws up his hands
I was only the register, I hope you understand
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 with their red flashin'
In the hot New night

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

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

Four in the and they haul Rubin in
They him to the hospital and they brought him upstairs
The wounded man looks up through his one eye
Says, wha'd you bring him in here He ain't the guy!
Here's the story of the
The man the authorities came to
For that he never done
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, for his name
While Arthur Dexter still in the robbery game
And the are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to blame
Remember that that happened in a bar
Remember you said you saw the car
You you'd like to play ball with the law
Think it might-a been that that you saw runnin' that night
forget that you are white

Arthur Dexter Bradley 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 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
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 some
the trout streams flow and the air is nice
And ride a along a trail
But then they took him to the
Where they try to turn a man into a

All of cards were marked in advance
The was a pig-circus, he never had a chance
The judge Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black folks he was a crazy nigger
No one that he pulled the trigger
And though they could not the gun
The D.A. said he was the one who did the
And the all-white agreed

Rubin Carter was falsely
The crime was 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 hand
To see him framed
Couldn't but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
justice is a game

Now all the criminals in their coats and their
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a cell
An innocent man in a hell
That's the of the Hurricane
But it be over till they clear his name
And give him the time he's done
Put in a cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the
