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 the door Think this through with me, let me know your mind Oh oh all I want to know is are you kind It's a buck dancer's choice my friend You 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 Oh oh all I want to know, will you come with me God damn I declare have you seen the like Their walls are built with cannon balls Their motto is don't tread on me Come hear Uncle John's band playing to the tide Come on along 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 Oh oh all I want to know where does the time go I live in a silver mine and I call it Beggar's Tomb I've got me a violin and I beg you call the tune Any body's choice, I can hear your voice Oh oh all I want to know how does the song go Come hear Uncle John's band by the river side 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
