Take me away, take me away
They're going to take me away
To Pelican Bay

Pelican Bay, Pelican Bay
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay


They don't have no fishing in the Pelican Bay
Room and board and free waits


Pelican Bay, Pelican Bay
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay


An eye for an eye
A man for a man
You kill one of mine, I'm taking three of them

Strawberry wine is thicker than blood
When you're kicking back in the cut


And if the weak don't get you then Charlie will
If the life don't reach you then Satan will


Pelican Bay, Pelican Bay
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay


They don't have no fishing in the Pelican Bay
Sure is dull when you count the days


Pelican Bay, Pelican Bay
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay


Even the Lord will forget about us
Even the Lord will forget about us
Even the Lord will forget about us

Down on the Pelican Bay

They're going to take me to Pelican Bay

Take me to Pelican Bay
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay
