Alcatraz Lyrics

Artist: Nazareth
Album: Razamanaz

Now lay me down on market street
Iâ‚¬â„¢m lookinâ‚¬â„¢ for some spare change
A coast guard ship has been lookinâ‚¬â„¢ for me
And I might have to change my name
Here comes Uncle Sam again with the same old bag of beans
The local chiefâ‚¬â„¢s on the radio
Heâ‚¬â„¢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 confininâ‚¬â„¢
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
Itâ‚¬â„¢s just the wings on the silver cars
And Iâ‚¬â„¢m allowed to plow a field
Itâ‚¬â„¢s not the life for a nineteen seventy
(What's an)Indian boy to do
Goinâ‚¬â„¢ back to Alcatraz
Lay me down on market street
Iâ‚¬â„¢m lookin for some spare change
A coast guard ship has been lookinâ‚¬â„¢ for me
Might have to change my name
Here comes Uncle Sam again with the same old bag of beans
Local chiefâ‚¬â„¢s on the radio
Heâ‚¬â„¢s got some hungry mouths to feed
Goinâ‚¬â„¢ back to Alcatraz
Here comes Uncle Sam again with the same old bag of beans
Local chiefâ‚¬â„¢s on the radio
Heâ‚¬â„¢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
