[00:15.69]Cries out My God they killed them all [00:19.19]Here comes the story of the Hurricane [00:25.70]The man the authorities came to blame [00:30.10]For somethin' that he never done [00:32.80]Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been [00:41.01]The champion of the world [00:43.19]Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see [00:51.66]And another man named Bello movin' around mysteriously [00:59.43]I didn't do it he says and he throws up his hands [01:08.38]I was only robbin' the register I hope you understand [01:13.59]I saw them leavin' he says and he stops [01:22.05]One of us had better call up the cops [01:30.60]And so Patty calls the cops [01:33.76]And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin' [01:38.71]In the hot New Jersey night [01:40.40]Meanwhile far away in another part of town [01:43.84]Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around [01:50.27]Number one contender for the middleweight crown [01:55.67]Had no idea what kinda ****was about to go down [02:53.51]When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road [03:02.83]Just like the time before and the time before that [03:08.68]In Paterson that's just the way things go [03:13.31]If you're black you might as well not show up on the street [03:38.99]'Less you wanna draw the heat [03:43.75]Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops [03:51.94]Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around [03:58.11]He said I saw two men runnin' out they looked like [04:03.90]Middleweights [04:03.99]They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates [04:06.06]And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head [04:24.99]Cop said Wait a minute boys this one's not dead [04:31.69]So they took him to the infirmary [04:35.39]And though this man could hardly see [04:38.98]They told him that he could identify the guilty men [04:41.58]Fourn the mornin' and they haul Rubin in [04:42.87]Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs [04:57.25]The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye [05:07.56]Says Wha'd you bring him in here for He ain't the guy [05:15.62]Yes here's the story of the Hurricane [05:19.10]The man the authorities came to blame [05:23.74]For somethin' that he never done [05:25.66]Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been [05:50.56]The champion of the world [05:53.23]Four months later the ghettos are in flame [06:05.74]Rubin's in South America fightin' for his name [06:11.25]While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game [06:26.17]And the cops are puttin' the screws to him lookin' for somebody [06:31.07]To blame [06:32.68]Remember that murder that happened in a bar [06:37.02]Remember you said you saw the getaway car [06:43.77]You think you'd like to play ball with the law [06:49.95]Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that [06:53.83]Night [06:54.42]Don't forget that you are white [07:00.72]Arthur Dexter Bradley said I'm really not sure [07:07.17]Cops said A poor boy like you could use a break [07:11.56]We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend [07:15.95]Bello [07:16.50]Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail be a nice fellow [07:20.56]You'll be doin' society a favor [07:24.75]That sonofa*****is brave and gettin' braver [07:27.57]We want to put his a*s in stir [07:30.99]We want to pin this triple murder on him [07:34.81]He ain't no Gentleman Jim [07:44.36]Rubin could take a man out with just one punch [07:49.65]But he never did like to talk about it all that much [07:53.11]It's my work he'd say and I do it for pay [07:57.27]And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way [08:00.83]Up to some paradise [08:03.99]Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice [08:07.72]And ride a horse along a trail [08:11.43]But then they took him to the jailhouse [08:13.02]Where they try to turn a man into a mouse [08:26.89]All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance [08:29.67]The trial was a pig-circus he never had a chance [08:34.87]The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums [08:36.98]To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum [08:39.03]And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger [08:43.27]No one doubted that he pulled the trigger [08:47.68]And though they could not produce the gun [08:49.23]The D A said he was the one who did the deed [08:56.50]And the all-white jury agreed [09:15.91]Rubin Carter was falsely tried [09:17.39]The crime was murder one guess who testified [09:19.97]Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied [09:24.30]And the newspapers they all went along for the ride [09:28.22]How can the life of such a man [09:31.75]Be in the palm of some fool's hand [09:33.85]To see him obviously framed [09:36.11]Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land [09:42.35]Where justice is a game [10:00.92]Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties [10:04.40]Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise [10:07.75]While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell [10:11.33]An innocent man in a living hell [10:15.32]Yes that's the story of the Hurricane [10:17.36]But it won't be over till they clear his name [10:22.37]And give him back the time he's done [10:24.17]Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been [10:28.74]The champion of the world
