If you travel to the downeast Cross Knox county line Hug the coastline on route one Find the Thomaston sign If you get there after dark Past the setting sun The moon shines on the St. George River And the grave of 26951 Back in the 1820s If a man were to sin Stand before twelve equals And if a guilty verdict's in He'd wave goodbye to his loved ones Because he knew he was done He gets a Maine prison number just like 26951 By day you'd mine the limerock Quarry 200 feet Some water and a lobster stew Burned away by summer heat Lowered into cages At night when you were done And in the darkness you'd relive What made you 26951 Some men did their time The gates open they're free Others spend their lives there Thinking 'bout what'll never be Found cold at morning roll call Never claimed by wife or son Buried at the prison cemetery Next to 26951 Now the prison burned and was torn away A single corner stands The debris of a thousand convict lives Now under loam and sand Prison showroom sells the wares Of inmates old and young Tourists bustle around But they don't see 26951 Black steel surrounds the graveyard And the few stones that remain Granite etched with sparse prose Some dates, some names Overlooking the great Maine forest Where the tides and rivers run That's where I knelt beside the marker of 26951 I never know who you are What happened or what you did If you were kind or you were evil All those memories hid But please know that from now on No matter what you've done One man will stop and say a prayer for 26951 So if you're driving downeast Knox county line Make a stop there on Main Street And if you find the time You should walk that south prison wall And spend a minute son Pay respects to those buried there And to 26951 And the river runs to the sea I watch the river roll to the sea Over the wall you hear that river wild and free I hope somebody Remembers me Yeah the river to the sea Yeah the river runs to the sea Over the wall you hear the river Wild and free I hope somebody remembers me
