[Intro / Verse 1]
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom nightEnter Patty Valentine from the upper hallShe sees the bartender in a pool of blood
Cries out, “My God, they killed them all!”[Chorus]
Here comes the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to blame
For something that he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world[Verse 2]
Three bodies lyin' there, does Patty see
And another man named Bello, moving around mysteriously
“I didn’t do it,” he says, and he throws up his hands
“I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand[Chorus]
I saw them leaving,” he says, and he stops
“One of us had better call up the cops”
And so Patty calls the cops, and they arrive on the scene
With their red lights flashin'
in the hot New Jersey night[Verse 3]
Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' aroundNumber one contender for the middleweight crown
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
