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
|
