Luyện nghe bài hát Paul Crump

In the state of Illinois nine years ago
A cold killer, he went against the law
He killed a factory guard when his did fail
And caught him and they threw 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 knew no peace of mind when his trial was by
The judge said, "You are you must die"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It was up to Governor to keep him from the grave
Was rehabilitation a to be saved?
The hour was comin' closer, the word was around
A new and better 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 there are set to die
What better time now to question why?

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