There's a lot of strange men in cell Block 10 but the strangest of them all
|
Was a friend of mine who just spent his time staring at the wall
|
(Staring at the wall)
|
In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote and it proved that crime don't pay
|
Twas the very same gal he robbed and stole for name in her weddin' day
|
(Name in her weddin' day)
|
As he looked at the wall so strong and tall I could hear him softly curse
|
Nobody a tall 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 is no doubt they would carry you out if you ever touch that wall
|
(Ever touch that wall )
|
A year's 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
|
(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
|
Know it was suicide
