Lyrics for Song: Alcatraz 
Lyrics for Album: Back To The Trenches [1984]
  
               
  24523>Now lay me down on market street
  I'm lookin' for some spare change
  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
 
 
  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
  I'm allowed to plow field
  That's not the life for a nineteen seventy
  Indian boy to do
  I'm goin' back to Alcatraz
 
 
  Lay me down on market street
  I'm lookin for some spare change
  The 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
