[Verse 1]
G
Oh, the age of the inmates
C G
I remember quite freely
No younger than twelve,
D
No older 'n seventeen
G
Thrown in like bandits
C G
And cast off like criminals,
C G
Inside the walls
D G
on the grounds of Red Wing
[Verse 2]
G
From the dirty old mess hall
C G
You march to the brick wall
Too weary to talk
D
And too tired to sing
G
Oh, it's all afternoon
C G
You remember your home town
C G
Inside the walls,
D G
The walls of Red Wing
[Verse 3]
G
Oh, the gates are cast iron
C G
And the walls are barbed wire
Stay far from the fence
D
With the 'lectricity stings
G
And it's keep down your head
C G
And stay in your number
C G
Inside the walls
D G
The walls of Red Wing
[Verse 4]
G
Oh, it's fare thee well
C G
To the deep hollow dungeon
Farewell to the boardwalk
D
That takes you to the screen
G
And farewell to the minutes
C G
They threaten you with it
C G
Inside the walls,
D G
The walls of Red Wing
[Verse 5]
G
It's many a guard
C G
That stands around smilin'
Holdin' his club
D
Like he was a king
G
Hopin' to get you
C G
Behind a wood pilin'
C G
Inside the walls,
D G
The walls of Red Wing
[Verse 6]
G
The night aimed shadows
C G
Through the crossbar windows
And the wind punched hard
D
To make the wall-siding sing
G
It's many a night
C G
I pretended to be a-sleepin'
C G
Inside the walls
C G
The walls of Red Wing
[Verse 7]
G
As the rain rattled heavy
C G
On the bunk-house shingles
And the sounds in the night
D
They made my ears ring
G
'Til the keys of the guards
C G
Clicked the tune of the morning
C G
Inside the walls
D G
The walls of Red Wing
[Verse 8]
G
Oh, some of us'll end up
C G
In St. Cloud Prison
And some of us'll wind up
D
To be lawyers and things
G
And some of us'll stand up
C G
To meet you on your crossroads
C G
From inside the walls,
D G
The walls of Red Wing
