Luyện nghe bài hát Paul Crump

In the state of Illinois nine years ago
A blooded killer, he went against the law
He killed a factory guard when his did fail
And they caught him and they him into jail

He lay there in his cell, locked up with his
Not many men knew of him and less cared for his
And he no peace of mind when his trial was comin' by
The said, "You are guilty you must die"

But Paul is alive today
He's a in a cell, he's got somethin' to say
Every man has got something to
And if a man can change, then a man should

sent him to Cook County Jail, a jail known far and wide
Where pity was a stranger and brave men cry
They him in the death row to count the days before
To the day came a knockin' at his door

But another warden along, Jack Johnson was his name
He knew how prison living could drive a man to
He had no need of pistols in a cell
When a word of trust would help him just as

Now Paul is alive today
a sittin' in a cell, he's got somethin' to say
Every man has got something to
And if a man can change, then a man live

Between the warden and the convict, a friendship grew
And one learned from the that a man can live anew
Then the called the convict, "You must leave the devil's plan
The time has for you to be a man"

Then the convict found and he started him to learn
He wrote a novel called 'Burn, Killer, Burn'
And as his dying day near, to the warden he did cry
"You must pull the switch and I die"

But Paul is alive today
He's a sittin' in a cell, got somethin' to say
man has got something to give
And if a man can change, a man should live

It was up to Governor Kerner to him from the grave
Was rehabilitation a reason to be
The hour was comin' closer, the was spread around
A new and answer must be found

Well, the electric chair was cheated, the convict pay
A new of justice was born and raised that day
Now throughout this peaceful land are others set to die
What better time than now to why?

But Crump is alive today
He's a sittin' in a cell, got somethin' to say
man has got something to give
And if a man can change, then a man live
