Lyrics

[00:18.91] Oh, the people would come from far away,
[00:21.04] To dance all night to the break of day.
[00:22.88] When the caller would holler: "Do Si Do",
[00:24.81] They knew Uncle Pen was ready to go.
[00:27.32]
[00:28.57] Late in the evening, about sundown,
[00:30.35] High on the hill, an' above the town,
[00:32.28] Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang,
[00:34.27] You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing!
[00:36.65]
[00:54.71] he Well, played an old tune they called the "Soldier's Joy",
[00:56.75] And he played the one they called the "Boston Boy".
[00:58.61] Greatest of all was the "Jennie Lynn",
[01:00.66] To me, that's where the fiddlin' begins.
[01:03.22]
[01:04.35] Late in the evening, about sundown,
[01:06.23] High on the hill, an' above the town,
[01:08.04] Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang,
[01:10.16] You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing!
[01:12.85]
[01:30.52] never I'll forget that mournful day
[01:32.60] When old Uncle Pen was called away,
[01:34.47] hung He up his fiddle and he hung up his bow,
[01:36.48] And he knew it was time for him to go.
[01:39.04]
[01:40.17] Late in the evening, about sundown,
[01:41.90] High on the hill, an' above the town,
[01:43.96] Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang,
[01:45.84] You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing!
[01:48.23]
[02:06.57] in Late the evening, about sundown,
[02:08.18] High on the hill, an' above the town,
[02:10.11] Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang,
[02:12.06] You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing!
[02:15.63]
