Luyện nghe bài hát Paul Crump

In the state of Illinois 'bout nine ago
A cold killer, he went against the law
He a factory guard when his robbery did fail
And they caught him and they threw him into

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

But Crump 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 live

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

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

Now Paul Crump is alive
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

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

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

But Paul Crump is alive
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

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

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

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, then a man should
