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

 Late in the evening about sundown 
 High on the hill and above the town
 Uncle Pen played the fiddle lord how it would ring
 You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing

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

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
