The Legend Of Alcatraz - Tom Fogerty

In the days of 1890 lived an Indian boy, I’m told

He sat upon the rock to prophecy

& he spoke of golden bridges

& a black cloud up above

& the birds in the water in a circle from the sky

CHORUS:

& he went down to the valley

& he went down through the trees

& he went down to the people

Telling everyone he’d meet

But no would would believe him

No one would believe him

In the year of 1970 lived an Indian boy, I’m told

He sat upon the rock to criticize

& he saw the golden bridge

& the black cloud up above

& the birds in the water in a circle from the sky

(chorus)

No one would believe him

No one would believe him

Why don’t you tell me who is the winner

Tell me who is the winner
