It's a buck dancer's choice my friend, better take my advice
Come hear Uncle John's Band playing to the tide
Oh, oh, what I want to know, where does the time go?
Oh, oh, what I want to know, will you come with me?
Their wall are built of cannonballs, their motto is "Don't tread on me"
Oh, oh, what I want to know, is are you kind?
Publisher: ICE NINE PUBLISHING CO INC
Anybodys choice, I can hear your voice
Well the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry any more
Think this through with me, let me know your mind
Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide
Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide
Will you come with me? Won't you come with me?
I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune
Come hear Uncle John's Band by the riverside
Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait
Come hear Uncle John's Band by the riverside
Come on along, go alone, he's come to take his children home
Songwriters: Jerome J Garcia, Robert C Hunter
You know all the rules by now and the fire from the ice
Goddamn, well I declare, have you seen the like?
It's the same story the crow told me, it's the only one he knows
Like the morning sun you come, like the wind you go
Come on along, go alone, he's come to take his children home
How does the song go?
Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide
I live in a silver mine and I call it Beggar's Tomb
'Cause when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door
Come hear Uncle John's Band playing to the tide
Oh, oh, what I want to know, how does the song go?
Oh, oh, what I want to know
Come hear Uncle John's Band playing to the tide
