[00:17.06]Oh, the people would come from far away,
[00:18.83]To dance all night to the break of day.
[00:21.63]When the caller would holler: "Do Si Do",
[00:23.45]They knew Uncle Pen was ready to go.
[00:26.10]Late in the evening, about sundown,
[00:27.91]High on the hill, an' above the town,
[00:29.74]Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang,
[00:31.50]You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing!
[00:33.34]Instrumental break.
[00:51.32]Well, he played an old tune they called the "Soldier's Joy",
[00:53.17]And he played the one they called the "Boston Boy".
[00:54.91]Greatest of all was the "Jennie Lynn",
[00:55.83]To me, that's where the fiddlin' begins.
[00:59.42]Late in the evening, about sundown,
[01:01.23]High on the hill, an' above the town,
[01:03.01]Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang,
[01:04.84]You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing!
[01:08.48]--- Instrumental ---
[01:23.80]I'll never forget that mournful day
[01:25.68]When old Uncle Pen was called away,
[01:29.28]He hung up his fiddle and he hung up his bow,
[01:30.15]And he knew it was time for him to go.
[01:32.84]Late in the evening, about sundown,
[01:34.69]High on the hill, an' above the town,
[01:35.54]Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang,
[01:38.21]You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing!
[01:39.19]--- Instrumental ---
[01:56.25]Late in the evening, about sundown,
[01:58.02]High on the hill, an' above the town,
[01:59.82]Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang,
[02:01.64]You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing!...
