Luyện nghe bài hát Paul Crump

In the of Illinois 'bout nine years ago
A cold blooded killer, he went the law
He killed a guard when his robbery did fail
And they caught him and threw him into jail

He lay there in his cell, locked up his hate
Not many men knew of him and less for his fate
And he knew no peace of when his trial was comin' by
The judge said, "You are guilty you die"

But Crump is alive today
He's a in a cell, he's got somethin' to say
Every man has got something to
And if a man can change, then a man live

They sent him to County Jail, a jail known far and wide
Where was a stranger and brave men often cry
They locked him in the death row to count the days
To the day they a knockin' at his door

But another warden along, Jack Johnson was his name
He knew how prison living could drive a man to
He had no of pistols in a solitary cell
When a of trust would help him just as well

Now Crump is alive today
He's a in a cell, he's got somethin' to say
man has got something to give
And if a man can change, then a man live

Between the warden and the convict, a slowly grew
And one learned from the other a man can live anew
Then the warden the convict, "You must leave the devil's plan
The has come for you to be a man"

Then the convict found and he started him to learn
He wrote himself a novel 'Burn, Killer, Burn'
And as his dying day near, to the warden he did cry
"You must the switch and I must die"

But Paul is alive today
a sittin' in a cell, he's got somethin' to say
Every man has got to give
And if a man can change, then a man should

It was up to Governor Kerner to him from the grave
Was rehabilitation a reason to be
The hour was closer, the word was spread around
A new and better answer be found

Well, the electric chair was cheated, the convict pay
A new concept of justice was and raised that day
Now throughout this peaceful land are others set to die
better time than now to question why?

But Paul Crump is today
He's a sittin' in a cell, got somethin' to say
Every man has got something to
And if a man can change, then a man should
