Uncle Pen Lyrics

Uncle Pen lyrics

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...
