There's a lot of strange men in cell block ten |
|
But the strangest of them all |
|
Was a friend of mine who spent his time staring at the wall |
|
Staring at the wall |
|
As he stared at that wall so strong and tall |
|
You could hear him softly curse nobody at all |
|
Ever climbed that wall but I'm gonna be the first |
|
Yeah I'm gonna be the first |
|
The warden walked by and said son don't try |
|
I'd hate to see you fall |
|
For there is no doubt they'll carry you out |
|
If you ever touch that wall |
|
If you ever touch that wall |
|
Well a 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 jail break plan |
|
But I know it was suicide |
|
I know it was suicide |
