[Intro 1]
[G]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
Oh, [G]the people would
come from far away,
To dance all night to the break of day.
When the caller would
holler: "Do Si Do",

[Verse 2]
They knew Uncle Pen was ready to go.
[C]Late in the evening, [G]about sundown,
High on the hill, an' above the town,
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord,
how it rang,
You could hear it talk, you

[Interlude 1]
could hear it sing!
[G]
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
Well, he played an old [G]tune they called
the "Soldier's Joy",
And he played the one they called
the "Boston Boy".
Greatest of all was the "Jennie Lynn",
To me, that's where the

[Verse 4]
fiddlin' begins.
[C]Late in the evening, [G]about sundown,
High on the hill, an' above the town,
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord,
how it rang,
You could hear it talk,

[Interlude 2]
you could hear it sing
[G]
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
I'll never forget [G]that mournful day
When old Uncle Pen was called away,
He hung up his fiddle and he hung up his bow,

[Verse 6]
And he knew it was time for him to go.
[C]Late in the evening, [G]about sundown,
High on the hill, an' above the town,
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord,
how it rang,
You could hear it talk, you

[Interlude 3]
could hear it sing
[G]
[C][G]
[C]Late in the evening, [G]about sundown,

[Verse 7]
High on the hill, an' above the town,
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord,
how it rang,
You could hear it talk, you could hear it
[C]sing
