Uncle Pen

• G

CAPO: 2nd Fret/KEY: A/PLAY: G 
G Oh, the people would come from far away 
They'd dance all night till the D break of day G 
When the caller hollered "do-si-do" 
You knew Uncle Pen was D ready to go. G  G7 
C Late in the ev'nin' a-{G} bout sundown 
High on the hill and a-{D} bove the town G 
Well Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lordy, how it would ring 
You could hear it talk, you could D hear it sing. G 
 
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
