Lyrics

There's a lot of strange men in cell block ten
 But the strangest of 'em all
 Was a friend of mine who spent his time
 Starin' at the wall, starin' at the wall
 As he looked at the wall so strong 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 is no doubt they'll carry you out
 If you ever touch that wall, if you ever touch that wall"
 Well, a years went by since he (that's a truth)
 Well, a years gone
 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, never made that wall
 Well, there's never been a man ever shook this camp
 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
 Well, we will like to
 I like to do a couple of love song here for you now
 You know, the man's best friend is his dog, if he's got nothing else
 And this song is about a dog
