Alcatraz

Lyrics

Now lay me down on market street
 I'm lookin' for some spare change
 A coast guard ship has been lookin' for me
 I might have to change the name
 Here comes Uncle Sam again
 With the same old bag of beans
 Local chief's on the radio
 He's got some hungry mouths to feed
 Goin back to Alcatraz
 Standing down on the highway
 Of hundred and one ways to go
 Solitary is so confinin'
 To the legend of Geronimo
 I know how to bring the rain
 I used to dance for ABC
 All the braves down on death row
 Are pretending to be free
 Back home in Alcatraz
 In the land of the great white father
 My American blood runs cold
 From my home in Oklahoma
 To the Everglades, I go
 It's just the wings on the silver cars
 And I'm allowed to [Incomprehensible] field
 Not the life for a nineteen seventy
 Indian boy to do
 I'm goin' back to Alcatraz
 Lay me on the market street
 I'm lookin' for some spare change
 And the coast guard ship's been lookin' for me
 And I might have to change the name
 Here comes Uncle Sam again
 With the same old bag of beans
 Local chief's on the radio
 He's got some hungry mouths to feed
 Back home in Alcatraz
