Grateful Dead - Uncle John's Band Lyrics

Listened to this on acid do not recommend took me to a new universe for hours and was trapped with strange entities while the universe was going into infinity while my brain was being shot

I've been a dead head since the sixties I can still find no better way to wake up in the morning then a grateful Dead tune and a big fat bone everybody enjoy the day enjoy the life peace and love to all

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
Woah-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
Woah-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
Woah-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
Woah-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

Woah-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

Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh
Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh
Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh

MEDITATION WITH JERRY AHHHH💨

Does Phish have any songs that are this good?

A few months ago I was travelling through Armenia and the republic of Georgia - and this is the song that I was inspired to listen to!

Genius lyrics

I was in Boulder Colorado when Jerry died. I'll never forget a burnt out hippie with a coffee can asking for money to have Party for Jerry. It was a sad day. I gave him a 5 dollar bill. Hope he made enough for a hell of a party.

God bless jerry

I'm hoping to have a positive impact on people with my own music like this song has had on me

My gosh, the time signature in this song. . . so tricky.
4s and 3s, 3s and 4s.

Will you come with me into New year once Uncle John always Uncle John 🤠

My favorite brother in law, RIP , think of him anytime I hear GD.

Cool, cool

1.3k people are morons! Probably more

Their motto do not tread on me

RIP Jerry

this is how many people love this song

What I want to know is...are you kind?


Eventually it becomes obvious.

Memories: Exceptional LSD. Schroon Manor, Schroon Lake NY. My friend Adam and a mix tape entirely of live versions of "Uncle John's Band". Most powerful trip I ever had.

Dogs staring at ceiling fans Get to your scorecards

Working Mans Dead, Mars Hotel, Wake of the Flood, Live Dead, Bear's Choice.

Pure shit...Really?

this band is something I wouldn't normally go to but is yet so intricately interesting and has a soulful yet psychedelic and classic rock sound to it that I want to sit through and respect

Days when love your neighbor and we took care of each other but some went too far and burned themselves Always hope and peace where you bring it💕✌️

I lived in a gold mine for 10 year.. called it beggers tomb

Take us home.

my ERLYIST MEMORIS ARE of this song

descobri essa canção pelo filme : a musica não pode parar S2

Was the speedway in the future? ..altamont... foreboding or just a coinkeydink? If ya slow down enuf to read sign you will realize there really aint no coincidences. The war is over, the door to guilded cage open, will you fly? I'm learning. Late. But I can't hear no fat lady singing yet... ✌ 🌷🍀

Always a fav.. like everyday.. peace

It's such a rich and warm song! GAAH! Definitely my favourite off of Workingman's Dead.

just woke me up.. lol

2 bottles of champagne..

Aieee! Favorite Dead song ever

The harmonies in this song are beautiful.

It took me a while to realize the Dead were first and foremost a folk band. They just made folk electric.

reminds me of me

i love all you dead heads... this is my favorite..

where does the time go?

Why does youtube kill the lyrics so bad....

Boomer headquarters

Don't tell any of my friends I like The Dead and this is my favorite song.
<3

Don't have secrets. Especially from your friends.

Definitely brings me back to the 80’s when my parents were listening to this on vinyl and me listening in the 90’s as a teenager

Let's dance... in the garden of Eden!

awesome song (~); }

One of my go too top playlist songs!

Eat chicken bones alone or eat chicken bones at your home

Cover lightly gentle earth.

Rip Robert Hunter 💔😢🙏 we will miss you dearly. Thanks for all the great music 😊❤

I remember hearing this song for the first time in 1980 or so. The lush, easy going country vibe, reminded me of the mountains of the moon, from the attics of my life, which I had lived in times past. And the lyrics.. the lyrics took me home. RIP Robert Hunter. You were the ladder to the Akasha for many.

anti-Communist song...

Alan Weberman wait the Dead are Trump voters 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

My grandpas favorite song he passed away to a heart attack I still listen to all there songs and remember him

R.I.P. John Cohen.

a great song

This is a fucking classic! I just started listening to the Dead last summer, and I love them!! I was born in the 90's, I wish I lived through the 60's!!

Just keep in mind that if you'd lived through the 60s, you might have been fed to the Vietnam sausage machine in the 70s.

This song indeed passes the golden ratio Phi moment test. At 0.618x song length , there usually is a climax or special moment , called a phi moment. In this song it’s right at 2:58 , right when it finishes saying “How does the song go! *^*

2:56 I mean

RIP Jerry García,saludos from Honduras 🇭🇳

I was in Progresso for a couple days 12 years ago, passed through Teguc coming from Nica to get there. Beautiful hill country there, some wonderful people too. Saludos!

“Goddamn well I declare! Have you seen the light? “

Absolutely Legendary Masterpiece

Google "The BPM's Jeff Morris Official Video." It's a great, magnificent rock song from Easy Rider. It's all about a motorcycle club. It rivals "Born To Be Wild." Give this great song a try.

Timeless and Iconic 70's music.

a god song for doing algebra homework still hate math

This song always takes me back. Cold beer, warm pipe, good friends and a full heart. #love

Happy Birthday Mr. Garcia

Jerry played this for me on my birthday during a dance concert in Scranton,Pa- last song!!

Feel the same from different ‘points of view “

Just think how thier music would sound if they had the technology like phish.

Michael Fitzpatrick I would think it wouldn’t sound as organic.

It would have been Lesh and Bear leading that charge. Bear was the sound guy who built the wall of sound. Lesh was forever tinkering with his bass electronically. Phish is a great band, both bands it's just all good.

Reminds me of driving my bug around in high school.... I graduated in 96😂😂
Still dig it!

God damn do I declare! I remember my English teacher reading that line when we had to pick a song that described us

"Have you seen the like? Their walls are built of cannon balls." What a line!

Facts are stubborn things

Missing Jerry still...
