Luyện nghe bài hát Paul Crump

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

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

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

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

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

Now Paul is alive 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

the warden and the convict, a friendship slowly grew
And one from the other that a man can live anew

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

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

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

Well, the electric chair was cheated, the didn't pay
A new concept of justice was and raised that day
Now this peaceful land there are others set to die
What better time than now to question

But Crump is alive today
a sittin' 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
