Lyric Uncle John s Band

Well the first days are the hardest days, don t you worry any more,
Cause when life looks like Easy Street, there is danger at your door.
Think this through with me, let me know your mind,
Wo, oh, what I want to know, is are you kind?

It s a buck dancer s choice my friend; better take my advice.
You know all the rules by now and the fire from the ice.
Will you come with me? Won t you come with me?
Wo, oh, what I want to know, will you come with me?

Goddamn, well I declare, have you seen the like?
Their wall are built of cannonballs, their motto is "Don t tread on me".
Come hear Uncle John n Band playing to the tide,
Come with me, or go alone, he s come to take his children home.

It s the same story the crow told me; it s the only one he knows.
Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go.
Ain t no time to hate, barely time to wait,
Wo, oh, what I want to know, where does the time go?

I live in a silver mine and I call it Beggar s Tomb;
I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune,
anybody s choice, I can hear your voice.
Wo, oh, what I want to know, how does the song go?

Come hear Uncle John s Band by the riverside,
Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide.

Come hear Uncle John s Band playing to the tide,
Come on along, or go alone, he s come to take his children home.
Wo, oh, what I want to know, how does the song go.
