Uncle John's Band (Great Expectations 1998)

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

Think this through with me, let me know you're mine

Whoa, 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?

What would I want to know? Will you come with me?

God damn well I declare, have you seen the like?

Their walls 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.

Whoa, oh, well 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, what I want to know, how does this 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

Oh, oh, what I want to know, how does this song go?

Come hear Uncle John's band by the riverside.

Got some things to talk about here inside 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.
