The Wall Of A Prison

The Wall Of A Prison
I walked in the big guards
The fields on warm sunshine.
A ninety nine year man stepped over to me,
He offered a smoke and he said as I rose it
To morrow I?m going to brake out and go free.
The watches by sunlight
The watches by spotlight
But I know a way for a man to go free
Down under myself
I?m digging a tunnel
The walls of a prison will never hold me
I told him that I?d help no part of his feeling
My time would be over one year from today
If I played with fire
And he looked right grooming?
Better that broken again he did say
The watches by sunlight
The watches by spotlight
I?m digging a tunnel
The walls of a prison will never hold me.
Next morning at breakfast
The old man was missing
Then we all heard the rifles
High up from the walls
He?d gone to the tunnel
Just like he had promised
And they saw him fell.
The watches by sunlight
The watches by spotlight
I?m digging a tunnel
The walls of a prison will never hold me.
