Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night[00:00:07]

Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall [00:00:18]

She sees the bartender in a pool of blood [00:00:22]

Cries out "My God they killed them all "[00:00:26]

Here comes the story of the Hurricane [00:00:30]

The man the authorities came to blame[00:00:34]

For somethin' that he never done [00:00:37]

Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been[00:00:41]

The champion of the world [00:00:45]

Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see[00:00:50]

And another man named Bello movin' around mysteriously [00:01:01]

"I didn't do it " he says and he throws up his hands[00:01:03]

"I was only robbin' the register I hope you understand [00:01:08]

I saw them leavin' " he says and he stops[00:01:11]

"One of us had better call up the cops "[00:01:15]

And so Patty calls the cops[00:01:18]

And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin'[00:01:21]

In the hot New Jersey night [00:01:27]

Meanwhile far away in another part of town[00:01:34]

Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around [00:01:43]

Number one contender for the middleweight crown[00:01:46]

Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down[00:01:50]

When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road[00:01:54]

Just like the time before and the time before that [00:01:58]

In Paterson that's just the way things go [00:02:01]

If you're black you might as well not show up on the street[00:02:04]

'Less you wanna draw the heat [00:02:09]

Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops [00:02:18]

Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around[00:02:24]

He said "I saw two men runnin' out they looked like[00:02:28]

Middleweights[00:02:30]

They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates "[00:02:32]

And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head [00:02:35]

Cop said "Wait a minute boys this one's not dead"[00:02:38]

So they took him to the infirmary[00:02:42]

And though this man could hardly see[00:02:45]

They told him that he could identify the guilty men [00:02:49]

Fourn the mornin' and they haul Rubin in [00:03:01]

Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs [00:03:05]

The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye[00:03:07]

Says "Wha'd you bring him in here for He ain't the guy "[00:03:12]

Yes here's the story of the Hurricane [00:03:16]

The man the authorities came to blame[00:03:19]

For somethin' that he never done [00:03:23]

Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been[00:03:27]

The champion of the world [00:03:31]

Four months later the ghettos are in flame [00:03:43]

Rubin's in South America fightin' for his name[00:03:46]

While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game[00:03:50]

And the cops are puttin' the screws to him lookin' for somebody[00:03:53]

To blame [00:03:55]

"Remember that murder that happened in a bar "[00:03:57]

"Remember you said you saw the getaway car "[00:04:00]

"You think you'd like to play ball with the law "[00:04:04]

"Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that[00:04:08]

Night "[00:04:09]

"Don't forget that you are white "[00:04:12]

Arthur Dexter Bradley said "I'm really not sure "[00:04:18]

Cops said " A poor boy like you could use a break[00:04:27]

We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend[00:04:29]

Bello[00:04:33]

Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail be a nice fellow [00:04:34]

You'll be doin' society a favor [00:04:38]

That sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver [00:04:41]

We want to put his ass in stir[00:04:45]

We want to pin this triple murder on him[00:04:47]

He ain't no Gentleman Jim "[00:04:53]

Rubin could take a man out with just one punch[00:04:59]

But he never did like to talk about it all that much [00:05:08]

It's my work he'd say and I do it for pay[00:05:11]

And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way[00:05:15]

Up to some paradise[00:05:19]

Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice[00:05:22]

And ride a horse along a trail [00:05:25]

But then they took him to the jailhouse[00:05:29]

Where they try to turn a man into a mouse [00:05:32]

All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance[00:05:43]

The trial was a pig-circus he never had a chance [00:05:48]

The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums[00:05:52]

To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum[00:05:55]

And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger [00:05:59]

No one doubted that he pulled the trigger [00:06:02]

And though they could not produce the gun [00:06:06]

The D A said he was the one who did the deed[00:06:10]

And the all-white jury agreed [00:06:14]

Rubin Carter was falsely tried [00:06:26]

The crime was murder "one " guess who testified [00:06:29]

Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied[00:06:32]

And the newspapers they all went along for the ride [00:06:36]

How can the life of such a man[00:06:40]

Be in the palm of some fool's hand [00:06:43]

To see him obviously framed[00:06:47]

Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land[00:06:51]

Where justice is a game [00:06:55]

Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties[00:07:05]

Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise[00:07:10]

While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell[00:07:13]

An innocent man in a living hell [00:07:17]

Yes that's the story of the Hurricane [00:07:21]

But it won't be over till they clear his name[00:07:24]

And give him back the time he's done [00:07:28]

Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been[00:07:31]

The champion of the world[00:07:35]
