Luyện nghe bài hát Hurricane

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom
Enter Patty Valentine from the hall
She sees a bartender in a of blood
out my God, they killed them all
Here comes the of the Hurricane
The man the authorities to blame
For somethin' that he never
Put in a prison cell, but one he could-a been
The of the world

Three bodies lyin' there does see
And another man named Bello, movin' around
I didn't do it, he says, and he throws up his
I was robbin' the register, I hope you understand
I saw them leavin', he says, and he
One of us had better up the cops
And so calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene with their red flashin'
In the hot New Jersey

Meanwhile, far away in another part of
Rubin and a couple of friends are drivin' around
Number one contender for the crown
Had no idea kinda shit was about to go down
When a cop him over to the side of the road
like the time before and the time before that
In Paterson that's the way things go
If black you might as well not show up on the street
you want to draw the heat

Alfred had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley just out prowlin' around
He said, I saw two men runnin' out, they like middleweights
jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates
And Miss Patty Valentine just her head
Cop said, wait a minute, boys, one's not dead
So they him to the infirmary
And though this man hardly see
They told him that he could identify the men

Four in the and they haul Rubin in
They took him to the hospital and they him upstairs
The wounded man looks up through his one eye
Says, wha'd you bring him in here for? He the guy!
the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities to blame
For somethin' that he never
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a
The of the world

Four months later, the ghettos are in
Rubin's in South America, for his name
While Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game
And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to
that murder that happened in a bar
Remember you you saw the getaway car
You think you'd like to ball with the law
Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw that night
Don't that you are white

Dexter Bradley said I'm really not sure
The cops said a poor boy like you could use a
We got you for the job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello
You don't wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice
You'll be doin' society a
sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver
We want to put his ass in
We want to pin this triple on him
He ain't no Jim

could take a man out with just one punch
But he never did like to talk about it all that
my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay
And when it's over I'd as soon go on my way
Up to some
Where the trout streams and the air is nice
And a horse along a trail
But then they took him to the
they try to turn a man into a mouse

All of cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he had a chance
The judge made Rubin's witnesses from the slums
To the white who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the folks he was just a crazy nigger
No one doubted he pulled the trigger
And though could not produce the gun
The D.A. he was the one who did the deed
And the jury agreed

Carter was falsely tried
The was murder one, guess who testified
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly
And the newspapers, they all along for the ride
How can the life of a man
Be in the palm of some fool's
To see him framed
Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to in a land
justice is a game

Now all the criminals in coats and their ties
Are to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot
An innocent man in a living
the story of the Hurricane
But it won't be over till they his name
And give him back the time he's
Put in a prison cell, but one time he been
The of the world
