Now lay me down on market street   I'm lookin' 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   Goin 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   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 lookin for some spare change   A coast guard ship has been lookin' for me   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
