uncle pen

Bill Monroe



 G
  Oh, the people would come from far away
 DG
They'd dance all night till the  break of day  
When the caller hollered "do-si-do"
 DGG7
You knew Uncle Pen was  ready to go.    

CHORUS
 CG
  Late in the ev'nin' a- bout sundown
 DG
High on the hill and a- bove the town  
Well Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lordy, how it would ring
 DG
You could hear it talk, you could  hear it sing.  

He played an old piece he called "Soldier's Joy"
And the one he called "Boston Boy"
The greatest of all was "Jenny Lynn"
To me that's where fidd'lin' began.

CHORUS

I'll never forget that mournful day
When Uncle Pen was called away
They hung up his fiddle, they hung up his bow
They knew it was time for him to go.

CHORUS










C D G G7
