Uncle John's Band

Well the first days are the hardest days

Don't you worry anymore

'Cause when life looks like easy street

There is danger at the door

Think this through with me

Let me know you're mine

Ooh,oh,all I want to know is

Are you kind

It's a buck dancer's choice my friend

You 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

Ooh,oh all I want to know

Will you come with me

Goddamn I declare

Have you seen the like

Their walls are built of cannon balls

There motto is Don't Tread On Me

Come here Uncle John's 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

Ooh,oh all I want to know

Where does the time go

I live in a silver mine

And I call it Beggar's Tomb

I've got me a violin

And I beg you call the tune

Anybody's choice

I can hear your voice

Ooh,oh all I want to know

How does the song go

Come here Uncle John's Band

By the river side

Got some things to talk about

Here beside the rising tide

Come here Uncle John's Band

Play into the tide

Come on along or go alone

He's come to take his children home
