Song Lyrics

Well the first days are hardest days
Don't you worry any more
Cause when life looks like easy street
There is danger at the door
Think this thought of me, let me know your mind
Oh oh all I want to know is-are you kind

It's a buck dancer 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 like
Their walls are built like cannon balls
Their motto is Don't tread on me
Come hear Uncle John's band playing-to the tide
Come along or go alone
He's come to take his children home

It's the same story that 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 is where does the time go

I live in the 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 thriver side
Got some thing's to talk about
Here beside the rising tide
Come here Uncle John's band playing-to the tide
Come on along or go alone
He's come to take his children home

Jerome J. Garcia, Robert C. Hunter
