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.
