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
