[Intro] G D G D G [Verse 1]
G
Oh the people would come from far away

G                         D        G
To dance all night to the break of day

G
When the caller would holler, "Do Si Do"

G                       D        G  G7
They knew Uncle Pen was ready to go
[Chorus]
C                    G
Late in the evening, about sundown

G
High on the hill, and above the town

G  N.C.
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang
N.C. You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing [Verse 2]
G
Well, he played an old piece they called the "Soldier's Joy"

G                             D      G
And then one they called the "Boston Boy"

G
Greatest of all was the "Jennie Lynn"

G                       D        G     G7
To me, that's where the fiddlin' begins
[Chorus]
C                    G
Late in the evening, about sundown

G
High on the hill, and above the town

G  N.C.
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang
N.C. You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing [Verse 3]
G
I'll never forget that mournful day

G                      D      G
When old Uncle Pen was called away

G
He hung up his fiddle and he hung up his bow

G                           D      G  G7
And he knew it was time for him to go
[Chorus]
C                    G
Late in the evening, about sundown

G
High on the hill, and above the town

G  N.C.
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang
N.C. You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing [Outro] G D G D G
