Lyrics

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'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
 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
 Anybodys 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?
 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
