My Uncle Lyrics - Authorized Bootleg - Flying Burrito Brothers

A letter came today from the draft board 

With trembling hands I read the questionnaire 

It asked me lots of things about my mama and papa 

Now that ain't what I call exactly fair 

So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border 

Vancouver may be just my kind of town 

'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order 

That tends to keep a good man underground 

A sad old soldier once told me a story 

About a battlefield that he was on 

He said a man should never fight for glory 

He must know what is right and what is wrong

So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border 

Vancouver may be just my kind of town 

'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order 

That tends to keep a good man underground, oh yeah 

Now, I don't know how much I owe my uncle 

But I suspect, it's more than I can pay 

He's askin' me to sign a three-year contract 

I guess, I'll catch the first bus out today
