Uncle John's Band (Live at The Filmore East

New York City NY 5/15/70) - 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’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

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

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
