Williams Jr., Hank - Uncle Pen Lyrics






Oh, the people would come from far away,
To dance all night to 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 the hill, an' above the town,
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang,
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing!
Instrumental break.

Well, he played an old 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 fiddlin' begins.

Late in the evening, 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 could hear it sing!
Instrumental break.

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

Late in the evening, 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 could hear it sing!
Instrumental break.

Late in the evening, 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 could hear it sing!

    Connor Arroyo sounds like Hank Williams Jr was having fun and feeling no pain

    C.... A....

    Yes, Hank's commentary is terrific! One of the reasons I always liked this song so well. So spontaneous

    C.... A....

    Kind of like "Made in the Shade" on Strong Stuff

  6. G.... C....

    I agree with you I like it better than bill Monroe's version maybe it's because I like Hank Williams Jr maybe the reason

    I couldn't say which one I like better, both are good, but they're different. Hanks isn't as strictly bluegrass, but it is awesome.
