[Verse]
G
Oh, the people would come from far away

                          C
To dance all night to the break of day

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

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

                       D
High on the hill, an' above the town

G
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang

           G                      G
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing!
[Verse]
G
Well, he played an old tune they called the "Soldier's Joy"

                                      C
And he played the one they called the "Boston Boy"

G
Greatest of all was the "Jennie Lynn"

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

                       D
High on the hill, an' above the town

G
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang

                    G               G
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing!
[Verse]
G
I'll never forget that mournful day

                       C
When old Uncle Pen was called away

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

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

                        D
High on the hill, an' above the town

 G
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang

                 G                    G
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing!
[Chorus]
 C                    G
Late in the evening, about sundown

                       D
High on the hill, an' above the town

 G
Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang

                   G                   G
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing!...
