The Walls of a Prison

Cash Johnny

There's alot of strange men in cellblock ten 
But the strangest of em' all 
Was a friend of mine who spent his time 
Starin at the wall... 
Starin at the wall... 

In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote 
Proving crime don't pay 
Was the very same gal he robbed and stole for 
Wanting thier wedding day... 
Wanting thier wedding day... 

As he looked at the wall 
So strong and tall 
I heard him softely curse 
Nobody at all ever climed that wall 
But I'm gonna be the first... 
I'm gonna be the first... 

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

Well a 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... 

Well there's never been a man who shook this camp 
But I knew a man who tried 
The newspapers called it a jailbreak plan 
But I know it was sucide... 
I know it was sucide...
