Uncle John's Band(Album Version) - Jimmy Buffett

作词：Robert Hunter/Jerry Garcia

作曲：Robert Hunter/Jerry Garcia

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

Now think this through with me

Let me know your mind

Whoa oh what I want to know is

Are you kind

Now it's a buck dancer's choice

My friends better take my advice

You know all the rules by now

And the fire from the ice

Now will you come with me

Won't you come with me

Whoa oh what I want to know

Will you come with me

Sister well I declare have you seen the like

Their walls are built of cannon balls

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 what 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

Whoa oh what 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 come on or go alone

He's come to take his children home
