Lyrics:
Oh, the 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
All inside the walls
On the grounds of Red Wing
From the dirty old mess hall
You march to the brick wall
Too weary to talk
And too tired to sing
And it’s all afternoon
You remember your hometown
All inside the walls
The walls of Red Wing
Oh, the 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 walls,
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 home town,
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 walls,
The walls of Red Wing.
Oh, it's fare thee well
To the deep hollow dungeon,
Farewell to the boardwalk
That takes you to the screen.
And farewell to the minutes
They threaten you with it,
Inside the walls,
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 walls,
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 walls,
The walls of Red Wing.
As the rain rattled heavy
On the bunk-house shingles,
And the sounds in the night,
They made my ears ring.
'Til the keys of the guards
Clicked the tune of the morning,
Inside the walls,
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 walls,
The walls of Red Wing.
Slight correction if you don't mind. Sometimes at the end the chorus its 'inside the grounds of the walls of red wind'
I will tell you the road & the miles to Dundee
I am not bragging about this... I was the 5th girl in Minnesota to go to Red Wing Training School. It was in 1974-73
Our "group" had to go to one of the closed old cottages to clean it something . There in a locker, written in paint was, "Bob Zimmerman - Gibbing, MN," Dylan's name before he was famous. Sure wish we had access to a camera or take that locker door!
Oh fuck, if only, you should have ripped it off?
@@cunobelinusX31 LOL - ya. For sure! But impossible. I wonder if it's still there. I should find out.
find out!!
Cool story but fake.
@@TherealDanielleNelson Heck, we're on a Bob Dylan forum, think of it as a song.
I heard him sing it in a concert in Chicago in the 60s. Can't remember exactly when. Very early in his career. Possibly about when Freewheelin' came out. It was at the end of the concert. I remembered how red his face got as he stared up as looking off in some middle distance. Of all the songs that night this one seemed to have some special resonance.
I think you are mistaken. Bob has only played “Walls Of Red Wing” on three occasions.
May 17, 1964 in London England at the Royal Festival Hall
October 26th, 1963 at Carnegie Hall in New York
April 12th, 1963 at Town Hall New York.
That comes from Bob’s official website that documents every live performance he has ever given and the set lists for those shows. Bob has never played “Walls Of Red Wing” in Chicago, but you do have the time period correct.
Wish i had been there! Born in Chicago...did see Led zepplin at a highschool gym!!! Those were the days my friend!!!
Indeed! Bob reworked that very tune “The Road and Miles to Dundee”. I wonder where he first heard that tune and adapted the melody? The Clancy Brothers? As usual, a brilliant reworking.
I’m reading a book on none other than Mike Bloomfield and this song is mentioned in it. That’s what’s brought me here. Mike claims that it was this song…that really touched him in some strange way…that night at the Bear, a new Chicago nightclub ran by Grossman. Apparently he didn’t think much of Dylan but ended up playing on his record the following year in New York.
The road & the miles to Dundee 👍
This is great
crazy i love it
I grew up not far from RedWing & drove by there many times. Mr. Zimmerman gives us a better idea of the inner workings there...Thanks Bob
Finally
This is the equivalent of an old British Borstal tale.
Borstal was essentially jail time for kids from the age of 14 up to 21. They have since been renamed Youth Custody Centres. But a rose 🌹 is a rose 🌹 by any other name.
Strange how the most brutal treatment seemed to usually occur in these places, rather that adult prisons.
As such, Borstal tales take on legendary status here, such as in Roy Minturn’s seminal made for tv film, later remade for the big screen, Scum, starring a young Ray Winstone, Mick Ford and Phil Daniels.
Redwing didn’t seem to be a Sesame Street style adventure either.
Valioso
Muy!!!
Dylan is Dylan
....bob is bob...
Now I know the truth
Didn't know there was a Red Wing prison down there. Then again I do not go to jail. How come he did not make a song out of Stillwater Prison? Frank James was there from the Jesse James gang.
It's where the state juvenile prison is located.
Reminds me of my 1st Y. O. I 14 to 21 it was full of taxing an bullying even the screws one beat me up for calling him a knob head it was similar to scum
May 24th is correct.
Red Wing was a children’s reform school. No record of a young Robert Zimmerman spending time there but it must have cast a long and ominous shadow over any rebellious kids in Hibbing.
he didn't go there
That's true - he just heard about it.@@conorkennedy3304
I had never heard this and I'm 65. I heard Michael Bloomfield tell about it in an interview. Its OK but I think he over rated it a bit. I mean he's dylan.
Wrong birthdate.
