[00:00.00]
[00:16.70]Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
[00:19.73]Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
[00:23.63]She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
[00:27.50]Cries out, "My God, they've killed them all!"
[00:30.75]Here comes the story of the Hurricane
[00:34.71]The man the authorities came to blame
[00:38.18]For somethin' that he never done
[00:42.31]Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
[00:46.70]The champion of the world
[00:50.20]
[00:58.50]Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see
[01:01.60]And another man named Bello, movin' around mysteriously
[01:05.63]I didn't do it, he says, and he throws up his hands
[01:09.20]I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand
[01:13.20]I saw them leavin', he says, and he stops
[01:16.72]One of us had better call up the cops
[01:20.41]And so Patty calls the cops
[01:24.80]And they arrive on the scene
[01:26.60]With their red lights flashin' in the hot New Jersey night
[01:31.11]
[01:39.90]Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
[01:43.29]Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around
[01:46.93]Number one contender for the middleweight crown
[01:50.50]Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
[01:54.54]When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
[01:58.70]Just like the time before and the time before that
[02:01.23]In Paterson that's just the way things go
[02:05.80]If you're black you might as well not show up on the street
[02:09.44]'Less you wanna draw the heat
[02:14.45]
[02:21.10]Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
[02:24.58]Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around
[02:28.12]He said, "I saw two men runnin' out, they looked like middleweights
[02:31.82]They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates"
[02:35.40]And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head
[02:38.91]Cop said, "Wait a minute, boys, this one's not dead"
[02:42.41]So they took him to the infirmary
[02:46.40]And though this man could hardly see
[02:48.71]They told him he could identify the guilty men
[02:55.69]
[03:02.47]Four in the mornin' and they haul Rubin in
[03:05.64]They took him to the hospital and they brought him upstairs
[03:08.98]The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye
[03:12.60]Says, "Wha'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy!"
[03:16.79]Here's the story of the Hurricane
[03:20.33]The man the authorities came to blame
[03:23.78]For somethin' that he never done
[03:27.37]Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
[03:31.19]A champion of the world
[03:35.74]
[03:43.45]Four months later, the ghettos are in flame
[03:46.63]Rubin's in South America fightin' for his name
[03:50.32]While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game
[03:53.67]And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to blame
[03:57.78]Remember that murder that happened in a bar?
[04:01.70]Remember you said you saw the getaway car?
[04:04.76]You think you'd like to play ball with the law?
[04:08.24]Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that night?
[04:12.60]Don't forget that you are white
[04:17.42]
[04:24.28]Arthur Dexter Bradley said, "I'm really not sure"
[04:27.22]Cops said, "A poor boy like you could use a break
[04:30.80]We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello
[04:34.68]You don't wanna have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow
[04:38.67]You'll be doin' society a favor
[04:42.14]That sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver
[04:45.54]We want to put his ass in stir
[04:49.15]We want to pin this triple murder on him
[04:53.18]He ain't no Gentleman Jim"
[04:57.61]
[05:05.10]Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
[05:08.12]But he never did like to talk about it all that much
[05:11.44]It's my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay
[05:15.37]And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way
[05:19.33]Up to some paradise
[05:22.73]Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
[05:26.51]And ride a horse along the trail
[05:29.78]But then they took him to the jailhouse
[05:33.80]Where they try to turn a man into a mouse
[05:39.13]
[05:45.59]All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance
[05:48.82]The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance
[05:52.30]The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
[05:55.94]To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
[06:00.13]And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger
[06:03.78]No one doubted that he pulled the trigger
[06:07.21]And though they could not produce the gun
[06:10.45]The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
[06:14.72]And the all-white jury agreed
[06:19.37]
[06:26.73]Rubin Carter was falsely tried
[06:29.66]The crime was murder "one", guess who testified?
[06:33.72]Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
[06:36.85]And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride
[06:40.60]How can the life of such a man
[06:44.49]Be in the palm of some fool's hand?
[06:47.80]To see him obviously framed
[06:51.42]Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
[06:55.52]Where justice is a game
[07:00.47]
[07:06.79]Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
[07:10.52]Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
[07:14.20]While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
[07:17.43]An innocent man in a living hell
[07:21.38]Yes, that's the story of the Hurricane
[07:24.78]But it won't be over till they clear his name
[07:28.24]And give him back the time he's done
[07:31.91]Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
[07:35.77]The champion of the world
