Luyện nghe bài hát Paul Crump

In the state of Illinois 'bout years ago
A blooded 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 in his cell, locked up with his hate
Not men knew of him and less cared for his fate
And he knew no peace of mind his trial was comin' by
The judge said, "You are you must die"

But Paul 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

They sent him to County Jail, a jail known far and wide
Where pity was a and brave men often cry
They locked him in the death row to the days before
To the day they 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 of pistols in a solitary cell
When a word of trust help him just as well

Now Paul Crump is 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 live

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

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

But Paul Crump is 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

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

But 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, a man should live
