[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
[Verse 1]
Lay me down on market street
I'm begging for some spare change
The Coast Guard ship is lookin' for me
And I might have to change the name

[Chorus]
Here comes Uncle Sam again with the same old bag of beads
Local chief's on the radio
He's got some hungry mouths to feed
Back to Alcatraz
