Now lay me down on market street
|
I'm begging for some spare change
|
A coast guard ship has been lookin' for me
|
And I might have to change my name
|
Here comes Uncle Sam again with the same old bag of beans
|
The local chief's on the radio
|
He's got some hungry mouths to feed
|
GoinĄŻ back to Alcatraz
|
|
Lay me back down here on the highway
|
One hundred and one ways to go
|
Solitary is so confinin'
|
To the legend of Geronimo
|
Oh I know I could bring the rain
|
I used to dance for ABC
|
And 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
|
I left my home in Oklahoma
|
To the Everglades I go
|
It's just the wings on the silver cars
|
And I'm allowed to plow a field
|
It's not the life for a nineteen seventy
|
(What's an) Indian boy to do
|
Goin' back to Alcatraz
|
|
Lay me down on market street
|
I'm begging for some spare change
|
A coast guard ship has been lookin' for me
|
And I might have to change my 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
|
|
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
|
Goin back to Alcatraz
|
Goin back to Alcatraz
|
Goin back to Alcatraz
|
Goin back to Alcatraz
|
Goin back to Alcatraz
|
Goin back to Alcatraz
|
Goin back to Alcatraz
|
