Oh the people would come from far away dance all night till the break of day
|
When the caller hollered do-se-do we knew Uncle Pen was ready to go
|
|
Late in the evening bout sundown high on the hill and above the town
|
Uncle Pen played the fiddle and oh how it would ring
|
You could hear it talk you could hear it sing
|
[ fiddle ]
|
He played an old tune called Soldier's Joy and the one they called Boston Boy
|
And the greatest of all was Jenny Lind to me that's where the fiddlin' began
|
|
Late in the evening bout sundown...
|
[ banjo - guitar ]
|
I'll never forget that mournful day when Uncle Pen was called away
|
Hang up his fiddle they hang up his bow they know it was time for him to go
|
|
Late in the evening bout sundown...
