Oh, the people would come from far and away,
|
They'd dance all night 'till the break of day,
|
When the caller would holler "Do-si-do,"
|
You knew Uncle Pen was ready to go.
|
|
Late in the evening about sun down,
|
High on the hill and above the town,
|
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, lord a how it'd ring,
|
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing.
|
|
Oh, he played an old piece he called Soldier's Joy,
|
And he had one he called Boston Boy,
|
The greatest of all was Ginny Lyn,
|
To me that's where the fiddlin begin.
|
|
Late in the evening about sun down,
|
High on the hill and above the town,
|
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, lord a how it'd ring,
|
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing.
|
|
Oh, I'll never forget that mournful day,
|
When Uncle Pen was called away,
|
They hung up his fiddle, they hung up his bow,
|
You knew it was time for him to go.
|
|
Late in the evening about sun down,
|
High on the hill and above the town,
|
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, lord a how it'd ring,
|
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing.
