Well, the first days are the hardest days
Dont you worry anymore
Because when life looks like Easy Street
There is danger at your door
Think this through with me
Let me know your mind
Whoa-oh, what I want to know
Is are you kind?
Its a buck dancers 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?
Wont you come with me?
Whoa-oh, what I want to know
Will you come with me?
Goddamn, well, I declare
Have you seen the like
Their walls are built of cannon balls
Their motto is dont tread on me
Come hear Uncle Johns Band
Playing to the tide
Got some things to talk about
Here beside the rising tide
Its the same story the crow told me
Its the only one he know
Like the morning sun you come
And like the wind you go
Aint no time to hate
Barely time to wait
Whoa-oh, what I want to know
Where does the time go?
I live in a silver mine
And I call it Beggars Tomb
I got me a violin
And I beg you call the tune
Anybodys choice
I can hear your voice
Whoa-oh, what I want to know
How does the song go?
Come hear Uncle Johns Band
By the riverside
Got some things to talk about
Here beside the rising tide
Come hear Uncle Johns Band
Playing to the tide
Come on along or go alone
Hes come to take his children home
Whoa-oh, what I want to know
How does the song go?
Come hear Uncle Johns Band
By the riverside
Got some things to talk about
Here beside the rising tide
Come hear Uncle Johns Band
Playing to the tide
Come on along or go alone
Hes come to take his children home
