The Wall
There's a lot of strange men in Cell Block 10
But the strangest of them all was a friend of mine
Who spent his time just staring at the wall, staring at wall
In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote
And it proves that crime don't pay
Was the very same gal he robbed and stole
For name in her wedding day, for name in her wedding day
As he looked at the wall, so strong and tall
I could hear him softly curse
Nobody at all ever climbed that wall
But I'm gonna be the first, I'm gonna be the first
The warden walked by and said
"Son, don't try, I would hate to see you fall
There ain't no doubt they will carry you out
If you ever touch that wall, if you ever touch that wall"
The years gone by since he made his try
But I can still recall how hard he tried and the way he died
But he never made that, wall he never made that wall
There's never been a man ever shook this can
But I know a man who tried
The newspapers called it a jailbreak plan
But I know it was suicide, I know it was suicide
But the strangest of them all was a friend of mine
Who spent his time just staring at the wall, staring at wall
In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote
And it proves that crime don't pay
Was the very same gal he robbed and stole
For name in her wedding day, for name in her wedding day
As he looked at the wall, so strong and tall
I could hear him softly curse
Nobody at all ever climbed that wall
But I'm gonna be the first, I'm gonna be the first
The warden walked by and said
"Son, don't try, I would hate to see you fall
There ain't no doubt they will carry you out
If you ever touch that wall, if you ever touch that wall"
The years gone by since he made his try
But I can still recall how hard he tried and the way he died
But he never made that, wall he never made that wall
There's never been a man ever shook this can
But I know a man who tried
The newspapers called it a jailbreak plan
But I know it was suicide, I know it was suicide
