OH THE PEOPLE
WOULD COME
FROM FAR AWAY
TO DANCE ALL NIGHT
'TIL THE BREAK OF DAY
WHEN THE CALLER
WOULD HOLLER
DO-SI-DO
THEY KNEW UNCLE PEN
WAS READY TO GO
LATE IN THE EVENING
ABOUT SUNDOWN
HIGH ON A HILL
AND ABOVE THE TOWN
UNCLE PEN
PLAYED THE FIDDLE
LORD HOW IT'D RING
YOU COULD HEAR IT TALK
YOU COULD HEAR IT SING
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
WELL THEY PLAYED
AN OLD TUNE
CALLED SOLDIER'S JOY
AND THEY PLAYED ONE
CALLED THE BOSTON BOY
PRETTIEST OF ALL
IS JENNY LYNN
FOR ME
THAT'S WHERE
THE FIDDLIN' BEGIN
LATE IN THE EVENING
ABOUT SUNDOWN
HIGH ON A HILL
AND ABOVE THE TOWN
UNCLE PEN
PLAYED THE FIDDLE
LORD HOW IT'D RING
YOU COULD HEAR IT TALK
YOU COULD HEAR IT SING
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
I'LL NEVER FORGET
THAT MOURNFUL DAY
WHEN UNCLE PEN
WAS CALLED AWAY
HE HUNG UP HIS FIDDLE
AND HE HUNG HIS BOW
AND HE KNEW
IT WAS TIME
FOR HIM TO GO
LATE IN THE EVENING
ABOUT SUNDOWN
HIGH ON A HILL
AND ABOVE THE TOWN
UNCLE PEN
PLAYED THE FIDDLE
LORD HOW IT'D RING
YOU COULD HEAR IT TALK
YOU COULD HEAR IT SING
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
LATE IN THE EVENING
ABOUT SUNDOWN
HIGH ON A HILL
AND ABOVE THE TOWN
UNCLE PEN
PLAYED THE FIDDLE
LORD HOW IT'D RING
YOU COULD HEAR IT TALK
YOU COULD HEAR IT SING
