Pistol ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine the upper hall
She sees a bartender in a of blood
out my God, they killed them all
Here comes the story of the
The man the authorities to blame
For somethin' he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he been
The of the world

bodies lyin' there does Patty see
And another man named Bello, around mysteriously
I do it, he says, and he throws up his hands
I was only the register, I hope you understand
I saw leavin', he says, and he stops
One of us had better up the cops
And so Patty the cops
And they arrive on the with their red lights flashin'
In the hot New night

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

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

Four in the mornin' and haul Rubin in
They him to the hospital and they brought him upstairs
The wounded man looks up through his one eye
Says, wha'd you bring him in for? He ain't the guy!
Here's the of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to
For somethin' that he never
Put in a prison cell, but one time he been
The champion of the

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

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

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

All of Rubin's cards were in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a
The judge made Rubin's drunkards from the slums
To the folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black he was just a crazy nigger
No one that he pulled the trigger
And they 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 crime was one, guess who testified
and Bradley and they both baldly lied
And the newspapers, they all along for the ride
How can the of such a man
Be in the palm of fool's hand
To see him framed
Couldn't but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Where is a game

Now all the criminals in coats and their ties
Are free to martinis and watch the sun rise
Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a hell
the story of the Hurricane
But it be over till they clear his name
And give him the time he's done
Put in a prison cell, but one he could-a been
The champion of the
