Oh,age of the inmates
I remember quite freely:
No younger than twelve
No older'n seventeen
Thrown in like bandits
And cast off like criminals
Inside the grounds
The walls of Red Wing
From the dirty old mess hall
You march to the brick wall
Too weary to talk
And 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
And the walls are barbed wire
Stay far from the fence
With the 'lectricity sting
And it's keep down your head
And stay in your number
Inside the grounds
The walls of Red Wing
Oh,it's fare thee well
To the deep hollow dungeon
Farewell to the boardwalk
That takes you to screen
And farewell to the minutes
They threaten you with it
Inside the grounds
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 grounds
The walls of Red Wing
The night aimed shadows
Through the crossbar windows
And the wind punched hard
To make the wall-siding sing
It's many a night
I pretended to be a-sleepin'
Inside the grounds
The walls of Red Wing
As the rain rattled heavy
On the bunkhouse shingles
And the sounds in the night
They made my ears ring
'Til the keys of the gurads
Clicked the tune of the morning
Inside the grounds
The walls of Red Wing
Oh,some of us'll end up
In St.Cloud Prison
And some of us'll wind up
To be lawyers and things
And some of us'll stand up
To meet you on your crossroads
From inside the grounds
The walls of Red Wing
