Jimmy Buffett - Uncle John's Band lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Uncle John's Band lyrics]
Well, the first days are the hardest days
Don't you worry anymore
'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 light?
Their walls are built with cannonballs
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
Anybody'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 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
Don't you worry anymore
'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 light?
Their walls are built with cannonballs
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
Anybody'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 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
