Текст песни The Wall - Live at Folsom State Prison, Folsom, CA (1st Show) - January 1968 - Johnny Cash

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 heard him softly curse
Nobody at all ever climbed that wall
But I'm gonna be the first
I'm gonna be the first

Then the warden walked by and said son don't try
I'd hate to see you fall
'Cause there is no doubt they'll carry you out
If you ever touch that wall
If you ever touch that wall

Well a year went 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
