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.
Woh - 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 [bad word] by now and the fire from ice.
Will [bad word] with me, won't [bad word] with me?
Woh - oh, what I want to know, will [bad word] with me?
 [bad word]  well I declare, have you seen the like?
Their walls are built of cannonballs, their motto is
Don't tread on [bad word] hear Uncle John's Band playing
To the [bad word] with me, or go alone.

It's the same story the crow told me;
It's the only one he knows.
Like the morning sun [bad word] and like the wind you go.
Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait,
Woh - 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.
Woh - oh, what I want to know, how does the song go? [bad word] hear the Uncle John's Band by the riverside
Got some things to talk about, here beside the risin' [bad word] hear Uncle John's Band playing to the [bad word] on along, or go alone, [bad word] to take his children home.
