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 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 Standing down on the highway A hundred and one ways to go Solitary is so confinin' To the legend of Geronimo 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 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 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 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 --- Alcatraz - Leon Russell
