_ _ _ _ _ _ Oh, the _ age of the inmates [C] I remember [G] quite freely,
_ _ _ No younger than twelve, no older than [D]
seventeen,
_ _ _ _ [G] Thrown in like bandits and [C] cast off [G] like criminals,
_ _ _ All inside the walls [D] on [G] the grounds of Red Wing.
[C] _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ From the dirty old mess hall [C] you march to [G] the brick wall,
_ _ Too weary to talk and too tired [D] to sing,
_ _ [C] [G] And it's all afternoon you _ [C] remember [G] your hometown, _
_ _ All inside the _ [D] walls, the [G] walls of Red Wing. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, the gates are cast on [C] and the [G] walls are barbed wire,
_ _ _ Stay far from the fence where the electricity [D] sting,
_ [C] _ [G] And it's keep down your head [C] and [G] stay in your number,
_ _ _ _ All inside the grounds [D] of the [Em] walls of [G] Red Wing. _
[D] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Oh, it's farewell _ to [C] the deep [G] isle of dungeon,
_ _ _ Farewell to the boardwalk that takes you to [D] the screen,
_ _ _ _ [C] [G] Farewell to the minutes they threaten you with it, _
_ _ All inside the grounds [D] of [G] the walls of Red Wing.
_ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ It's many [D]
[G] a guard that [C] [G] stands around smiling,
_ _ _ _ _ Holding his club like he was a [D] king, _
[C] _ _ [G] _ Hoping to get you [C] behind [G] the wood piling, _ _ _
All inside the grounds [D] of [G] the walls of Red Wing. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
In _ nightingale shadows [C] through the _
[G] crossbar windows,
_ _ And the wind punched hard to make the walls sigh and [D] sing,
_ _ _ [G] It's many a night I [C] pretended [G] to be sleeping,
_ _ _ All inside the grounds [D] of the [G] walls of Red Wing. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ As the rain rattled heavy [C] on the [G] bunkhouse shingles, _
_ And the sounds of the night they made my [D] ears ring, _ _
Till [G] the keys of the guards [C] clicked the tune [G] of the morning, _ _ _
All inside the grounds [D] of the [G] walls of Red Wing. _ _ _ _ _ _

[C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Oh, some of us will wind up [C] in [G] St.
Pat prison,
_ _ And some of us will end up to [C] be lawyers and [D] things, _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] And some of us will stand to meet you on your _ crossroads,
_ From inside the grounds [D] of the [G] walls of Red Wing.
