Alcatraz Lyrics by Nazareth

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
    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
