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
