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
Starin' at the wall, starin' at the wall

As he looked at the wall so strong and tall
You could hear him softly curse
"Nobody at all ever climbed that wall
But I'm gonna the first, I'm gonna the first"

Then the warden walked by and said "son don't try
I'd hate to see you fall
Well there is no doubt they'll carry you out
If you ever touch that wall, if you ever touch that wall"

Well a year went by since- (Laughs) I'n't that thе truth?
Well a year's gone- thеm mean bastards, ain't they?

Well 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

Well 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
