There's a lot of strange men in cell block 10
But the strangest of them all
Is a friend of mine who spent his time
Staring at the Wall
Staring at the Wall

In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote
Provin' crime don't pay
Was the very same gal he robbed and stole
For namin' her wedding day
Namin' 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 came by
And said, Son, don't try
I'd hate to see you fall
'Cause there ain't no doubt
They'll carry you out
If you ever touch that Wall
If you ever touch that Wall

Well, now 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
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
