Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, the people would come from far away
To dance all night to the break of day
When the caller would holler do-si-do
They knew Uncle Pen was ready to go
[Verse 2]
Late in the evening about sundown
High on the hill and above the town
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang
You could hear it talk, you'd hear it sing
[Verse 3]
Well, he played an old piece they called Soldier's Joy
And one called Boston Boy
Greatest of all was Jenny Lynn
To me, that's where the fiddlin' begins
[Verse 4]
Late in the evening about sundown
High on the hill and above the town
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing
[Verse 5]
I'll never forget that mournful day
When Uncle Pen was called away
They hung up his fiddle, they hung up his bow
They knew it was time for him to go
[Verse 6]
Late in the evening about sundown
High on the hill and above the town
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing
[Verse 7]
Late in the evening about sundown
High on the hill and above the town
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing
