Lyrics for The Wall - Live at Folsom State Prison, Folsom, CA - January 1968
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
