D#
Well, there's lots of strange men in cell-block ten,
A#
but the strangest of them all
G# D#
was a pal of mine who would spend his time
Cm D# G# D#
just staring at the wall, staring at the wall.
D#
In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote,
A#
which proves that crime don't pay
G# D#
the very same gal that h'd robbed and stole for,
Cm D# G# D#
naming her wedding day, naming her wedding day.
G# D#
As he looked at the wall so strong and tall,
G# D# G#
I heard him softly curse, "nobody at all
D# Cm D#
has ever made that wall, but I'm gonna be the first,
G# D#
I'm gonna be the first."
G# D#
Many a man who has shook this can,
G# D#
and I know a man who tried.
G# D#
The newspapers called it a jailbreak plan,
Cm D# G# D#
but I know it was suicide; I know that it was suicide.
D# Cm
Well I know that I shouldn't have done it
G# A# D#
I know it just wasn't right.
A# Cm
Cause they got me backed up to the Cottonmouth river
G# A# D#
and I can't cross late at night.
