Uncle John`s Band — текст песни (Grateful Dead)

Well the first days are the hardest days, don`t you worry any more,
`Cause when life looks like Easy Street, there is danger at your door.
Think this through with me, let me know your mind,
Wo, oh, what I want to know, is are you kind?

It`s a buck dancer`s choice my friend; 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?
Wo, oh, what I want to know, will you come with me?

Goddamn, well I declare, have you seen the like?
Their wall are built of cannonballs, their motto is Don`t tread on me.
Come hear Uncle John`n 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,
Wo, 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 got me a violin and I beg you call the tune,
anybody`s choice, I can hear your voice.
Wo, 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 along, or go alone, he`s come to take his children home.
Wo, oh, what I want to know, how does the song go.
