Listen to poem:

Sing Sing Old Prison Walls Still Sing

Sing Sing old prison walls still sing
As men worked beyond their limits
The stench of old sparky still clings
Silence lingers as its laws prohibits

Yet

Sing Sing old prison walls still sing
Of those prisoners laments, within
Blooded weal’s on flesh that stings
Sometimes strung up left to swing

Yet 

Sing Sing old prison walls still sing
So many went by the electric chair
Yeah, it so really became the thing
Last chance to repent and a prayer

With it, the walls of Sing Sing, sing

With it, the walls of Sing Sing, sing

Sing . . .
