Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Wall (Harlan Howard)
Subject: The Wall
Looking for information on a song that came out around 1957 (I believe) My senior moments have not all gone, but for the life of me I cannot remember who wrote this song or the history of it. I believe it was called "The Wall" and was done Freddie Harte??? It is not in the dta base, at least not under that title. Cowpie has no info on it. I used to sing this to my son and daughter to put them to bed ( I was a jailer at the time) It went something like. " theres a lot of strange men in cell block ten, but the strangest of them all, was a friend of mine who spent his time, just staring at the wall, staring at the wall. I guess I dont remember the artist's name correctly or the spelling. Any help out there?? Thanks a lot WW.
