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 starin' at the wall starin' at wall
As he looked at the wall so strange and tall you 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
Well the warden walked by and said son don't try I'd hate to see you fall For there ain't no doubt they'll carry you out If you ever touch that wall If you ever touch that wall
Well 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 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
