[Verse 1]
Now lay me down on Market Street
I'm begging for some spare change
A Coast Guard ship is been lookin' for me
I might have to change the name
[Chorus 1]
Here comes Uncle Sam again with the same old bag of beads
The local chief's on the radio
He's got some hungry mouths to feed
Goin’ back to Alcatraz
[Verse 2]
Standing down on the highway
A hundred and one ways to go
Solitary is so confinin'
To the legend of Geronimo
[Chorus 2]
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
[Bridge]
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 sow a seed
It's not a life for a nineteen seventy
Indian boy to do
I'm goin' back to Alcatraz
Now lay me down on Market Street
I'm begging for some spare change
A Coast Guard ship is been lookin' for me
I might have to change the name
[Chorus 1]
Here comes Uncle Sam again with the same old bag of beads
The local chief's on the radio
He's got some hungry mouths to feed
Goin’ back to Alcatraz
[Verse 2]
Standing down on the highway
A hundred and one ways to go
Solitary is so confinin'
To the legend of Geronimo
[Chorus 2]
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
[Bridge]
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 sow a seed
It's not a life for a nineteen seventy
Indian boy to do
I'm goin' back to Alcatraz
