Well the first days are the hard-est days,
Don't you wor-ry an-y more,
'Cause when life looks like Ea-sy Street,
there is dan-ger at your door.
Think this through with me,
let me know your mind.
Woh - oh, what I want to know,
is are you kind?
God-damn, well I de-clare,
have you seen the like?
Their walls are built of can-non-balls,
their mot-to is don't tread on me.
Come hear Un-cle John's Band
Play-ing to the tide,
come with me, or go a-lone.
He's come to take his chil-dren home
Come hear Un-cle John's Band
by the riv-er-side
Got some things to talk a-bout,
here be-side the ris-in' tide
Come hear Un-cle John's Band
Play-ing to the tide,
Come on a-long, or go a-lone,
He's come to take his chil-dren home.
Woh - oh, what I want to know,
how does the song go?
