[00:00.12]Theres a lot of strange men in cell block ten
[00:11.40]But the strangest of them all
[00:14.49]Was a friend of mine who spent his time staring at the wall
[00:24.12]Staring at thewall
[00:24.51]In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote
[00:27.78]And it proves that crime don't pay
[00:30.81]She was the very same gal that he robbed and stole for
[00:34.50]For naming her wedding day
[00:38.19]For naming her wedding day
[00:40.74]As he stared at that wall so strong and tall
[00:44.25]You could hear him softly curse nobody at all
[00:49.26]Ever climbed that wall but i'm gona be the first
[00:53.19]Yeah i'm gona be the first
[00:59.22]The warden walked by and said son don't try
[01:02.55]I'd hate to see you fall
[01:05.37]For there is no doubt they'll carry you out
[01:08.88]If you ever touch that wall
[01:12.15]If you ever touch that wall
[01:16.95]Well a years gone by since he made his try
[01:20.55]But I can still recall
[01:23.67]How hard he tried and the way he died
[01:26.97]But he never made that wall
[01:30.42]He never made that wall
[01:33.57]Theres never been a man ever shook this can
[01:36.99]But I know a man who tried
[01:40.17]The newspapers called it a jail break plan
[01:43.41]But I know it was suicide
[01:46.71]I know it was suicide
