Uncle John`s Band — текст песни (Jimmy Buffett)

Uncle John`s Band
By: Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter
1970
Well the first days are the hardest days
Don`t you worry anymore
`Cause when life looks like easy street
There is danger at the door
Think this through with me
Let me know you`re mine
Ooh, oh, all I want to know is
Are you kind

It`s a buck dancer`s 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
Ooh, oh all I want to know
Will you come with me

Goddamn I declare
Have you seen the like
Their walls are built of cannon balls
There motto is Don`t Tread On Me

Come here Uncle John`s Band
Playing to the tide
Come on along 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
Ooh, oh all 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
Ooh, oh all I want to know
How does the song go

Come here Uncle John`s Band
By the river side
Got some things to talk about
Here beside the rising tide

Come here Uncle John`s Band
Play into the tide
Come on along or go alone
He`s come to take his children home
