Town Hall, NYC - 12.apr.1963 Red wing. It's reforming school. Don't have no high school football teams though or nothing like that. No cheer leaders. Oh, the age of the inmates I remember quite freely No younger than twelve No older 'n seventeen Thrown like bandits An' cast off like criminals Inside the walls The walls of Red Wing. From the dirty old mess hall You march to the brick wall Too weary to talk An' too tired to sing Oh, it's all afternoon You remember your hometown Inside the walls The walls of Red Wing. Oh, the gates are cast iron An' the walls are barbed wire Stay far from the fence With the 'lectricity sting An' it's keep down your head An' stay in your number Inside the walls The walls of Red Wing. Oh, it's fare thee well To the deep hollow dungeon Farewell to the boardwalk That takes you to the screen An' farewell to the minutes They threaten you with it Inside the walls The walls of Red Wing. It's many a guard That stands around smilin' Holdin' his club Like he was a king Hopin' to get you Behind a wood pilin' Inside the walls The walls of Red Wing. The night aimed shadows Thru the crossbar window An' the wind punched hard To make the wall sidin' sing It's many a night I pretended to be a-sleepin' Inside the walls The walls of Red Wing. As the rain rattled heavy On the bunk house shingles An' the sounds in the night They made my ears ring 'Til the keys of the guards Clicked the tune of the morning Inside the walls The walls of Red Wing. Oh, some of us 'll end up In St Cloud prison An' some of us 'll wind up To be lawyers an' things An' some of us 'll stand up To meet you on your crossroads From inside the walls The walls of Red Wing. |

From the dirty old mess hall You march to the brick wall Too weary to talk An' too tired to sing An' it's all afternoon You remember your hometown All inside the walls The walls of Red Wing. Oh, the gates are cast iron An' the walls are barbed wire Stay far from the fence With the 'lectricity sting An' it's keep down your head An' stay in your number All inside the grounds Of the walls of Red Wing. Oh, it's fare thee well To the deep hollow dungeon Farewell to the boardwalk That takes you to the screen Farewell to the minutes They threaten you with it All inside the grounds Of the walls of Red Wing. It's many a guard That stands around smilin' Holdin' his club Like he was a king Hopin' to get you Behind a wood pilin' All inside the grounds Of the walls of Red Wing. The night aimed shadows Thru the crossbar windows An' the wind punched hard To make the wall sidin' sing It's many a night I pretended to be a-sleepin' All inside the grounds Of the walls of Red Wing. As the rain rattled heavy On the bunk house shingle An' the sounds in the night They made my ears ring 'Til the keys of the guards Clicked the tune of the mornin' All inside the grounds Of the walls of Red Wing. Oh, some of us will wind up In St Cloud prison An' some of us will end up To be lawyers an' things An' some of us will stand To meet you on your crossroads From inside the grounds Of the walls of Red Wing. |
