Luyện nghe bài hát Paul Crump

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

He lay there in his cell, locked up his hate
Not men knew of him and less cared for his fate
And he no peace of mind when his trial was comin' 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
Every man has got to give
And if a man can change, a man should live

They sent him to Cook County Jail, a 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 they came a at his door

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

Now Crump 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 live

Between the and the convict, a friendship slowly grew
And one learned from the that a man can live anew
Then the warden called the convict, "You must 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 novel 'Burn, Killer, Burn'
And as his day grew near, to the warden he did cry
"You must pull the and I must die"

But 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, a man should live

It was up to Governor Kerner to keep him from the
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 born and that day
Now throughout this peaceful there are others set to die
What better than now to question why?

But Paul 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 live
