From the back of my neck, oh, oh, oh
|
Wired a glass jaw, oh, oh
|
Plantation burning your boat is coming in
|
Strum your jew's-harp, you're reeking gin
|
|
(chorus)
|
Running water in a sinking boat
|
Going under but they've got your goat
|
Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound
|
Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound
|
|
Johnny Mike is reading in the yard
|
His story's timely, oh, oh, oh
|
What river is it anyway, radio
|
Not in a boat, in your ear
|
|
(repeat chorus)
|
|
You pick your island in the sun
|
Take your island off he's got a gun
|
Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound
|
Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound
|
|
He's cooking in the woods, a brush fire in your neck
|
Feeling mighty mighty, oh, oh, oh
|
You can pick your island in the sun
|
Take your island off he's got a gun
|
|
(repeat chorus)
|
