Wall Lyrics - Freddie Hart

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
