Uncle Pen (feat. Amanda Shires)

Oh, the people would come from far away

To dance all night till the break of day

When the caller hollered, "Do-se-do"

He knew Uncle Pen was ready to go

Late in the evenin', about sundown

High on the hill and above the town

Uncle Pen played the fiddle, oh, how it would ring

You can hear it talk, and you can hear it sing

He played an old tune called "The Soldier's Joy"

And he played the one called "The Boston Boy"

The greatest of all was "Jenny Lynn"

To me, that's where the fiddlin' began

Late in the evenin', about sundown

High on the hill and above the town

Uncle Pen played the fiddle, oh, how it would ring

You can hear it talk, and you can hear it sing

I'll never forget that mournful day

When Uncle Pen was called away

He hung up his fiddle, and he hung up his bow

He knew it was time for him to go

Late in the evenin', about sundown

High on the hill and above the town

Uncle Pen played the fiddle, oh, how it would ring

You can hear it talk, and you can hear it sing

Late in the evenin', about sundown

High on the hill and above the town

Uncle Pen played the fiddle, oh, how it would ring

You can hear it talk, and you can hear it sing
