Uncle John's Band (2020 Remaster)

Well the first days are the hardest days

Don't you worry anymore

'Cause when life looks like Easy Street

There is danger at your door

Think this through with me

Let me know your mind

Whoa, what I want to know

Is are you kind?

It's a buck dancer's choice my friends

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?

Whoa, what I want to know

Will you come with me?

God damn, well, I declare

Have you seen the like

Their walls are built of cannon balls

Their motto is don't tread on me

Come hear 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 sunm you come

And like the wind, you go

Ain't no time to hate

Barely time to wait

Whoa, 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

Whoa, 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

Whoa, 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
