[00:15.97] Well the first days are the hardest days,
[00:19.51] Don't you worry any more,
[00:23.07] 'Cause when life looks like easy street,
[00:25.94] there is danger at your door.
[00:30.10] Think this through with me,
[00:33.73] let me know your mind.
[00:37.24] Woh - oh, what I want to know,
[00:41.38] is are you kind?
[00:44.82]
[00:47.53] It's a buck dancer's choice my friend;
[00:51.05] better take my advice.
[00:54.64] You know all the rules by now
[00:57.12] and the fire from ice.
[01:00.99] Will you come with me,
[01:04.51] won't you come with me?
[01:08.01] Woh - oh, what I want to know,
[01:12.06] will you come with me?
[01:14.56]
[01:19.18] Goddamn, well I declare,
[01:22.14] have you seen the like?
[01:25.28] Their walls are built of cannonballs,
[01:28.76] their motto is Don't tread on me.
[01:32.92] Come here Uncle John's Band
[01:36.69] playing to the tide,
[01:40.14] come with me, or go alone.
[01:42.98] He's come to take his children home
[01:49.74]
[02:01.42] It's the same story the crow told me;
[02:04.59] It's the only one he knows.
[02:08.27] Like the morning sun you come
[02:11.36] and like the wind you go.
[02:14.83] Ain't no time to hate,
[02:18.45] barely time to wait,
[02:21.86] Woh - oh, what I want to know,
[02:25.98] where does the time go?
[02:31.26] I live in a silver mine
[02:33.76] and I call it Beggar's Tomb;
[02:37.12] I got me a violin
[02:40.11] and I beg you call the tune
[02:43.83] Anybody's choice,
[02:47.32] I can hear your voice.
[02:50.86] Woh - oh, what I want to know,
[02:54.85] how does the song go?
[03:01.67] Come here Uncle John's Band
[03:04.98] by the riverside
[03:08.36] Got some things to talk about,
[03:11.73] here beside the risin' tide
[03:15.78] Come here Uncle John's Band
[03:18.81] playing to the tide,
[03:22.23] Come on along, or go alone,
[03:25.29] He's come to take his children home.
[03:32.21]
[03:53.83] Woh - oh, what I want to know,
[03:57.71] how does the song go?
[04:02.34] Come here Uncle John's Band
[04:05.89] by the riverside,
[04:09.19] Got some things to talk about
[04:12.41] here beside the risin' tide.
[04:16.69] Come here Uncle John's Band
[04:19.62] playing to the tide,
[04:23.07] come on along or go alone,
[04:26.09] he's come to take his children home.
