Standard (EADGBE)

 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

 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

 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
