Uncle Pen |
Buck Owens |
|
Late in the evenin' about 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. |
|
Well, the people would come from far away |
They'd 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 evenin' about 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. |
|
Well, he played an old tune called Soldier's Joy |
And the one they called Boston Boy |
The greatest of all was Jenny Lind |
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 and oh, how it would ring |
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing. |
Solo(Fiddle) |
|
Well, I'll never forget that mournful day |
When Uncle Pen was called away |
Hang up his fiddle, hang up his bow |
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 and oh, how it would ring |
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing... |
