Johnny Cash The Wall Lyrics

The Wall Lyrics

Theres a lot of strange men in cell block ten

But the strangest of them
all

Was a friend of mine who spent his time staring at the wall

Staring at thewall



In his hand was a note that his gal had
wrote

And it proves that crime don't pay

She was the very same gal
that he robbed and stole for

For naming her wedding day 

For naming
her wedding day



As he stared at that wall so strong and tall

You could hear him softly curse nobody at all

Ever climbed that wall
but i'm gona be the first

Yeah i'm gona be the first



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 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



Theres never been a man ever shook this can

But I know a man who
tried

The newspapers called it a jail break plan

But I know it was
suicide

I know it was suicide
