Uncle John’s Band Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

Now think this through with me
Let me know your mind
Whoa-ho, 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

Now will you come with me?
Won't you come with me?
Whoa-ho, what I want to know
Will you come with me?

[Bridge]
Sister, well, I declare
Have you seen the like?
Their walls are built of cannon balls
Their motto is "Don't tread on me"

[Chorus]
Come hear Uncle John's Band
Playing to the tide
Come with me or go alone
He's come to take his children home

[Verse 2]
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
Whoa-ho, 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-ho, what I want to know
How does the song go?

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Whoa-ho, what I want to know
How does the song go?

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Come hear Uncle John's Band
By the riverside
(Brother, ain't no time to hate)
Got some things to talk about
Here beside the rising tide
(Sister, ain't no time to wait)
Come hear Uncle John's Band
Playing to the tide
Come on along or go alone
He's come to take his children home

Oh-ho-ho, oh-ho-ho, oh-ho-ho
