Alcatraz Blues

I'm on my way to California

I'd rather go to Tennessee

Got in trouble down in Dixie

And it's Alcatraz for me

Gee but I'm blue and I'm lonesome

No one seems to understand

Everybody thinks that I'm guilty

They say I shot a man

Well the evidence was circumstantial

They didn't want the world to know

All about the kind of justice

That's blind and it is so

Woman in Atlanta Georgia

Won't you listen to my lonesome song

If they really knew that you shot him

You'd be where you belong

I'm on my way to California

I'd rather go to Tennessee

Got in trouble down in Dixie

And it's Alcatraz for me
