Текст песни Uncle Pen (Rose Maddox) с переводом

Late in the evenin' about sundown

High on the hill and above the town

Uncle Pen played the fiddle and oh, how it would ring

You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing

Well, the people would come from far away

They’d dance all night till the break of day

When the caller hollered do-se-do

We knew Uncle Pen was ready to go

Late in the evenin' about sundown

High on the hill and above the town

Uncle Pen played the fiddle and oh, how it would ring

You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing

Well, he played an old tune called Soldier’s Joy

And the one they called Boston Boy

The greatest of all was Jenny Lind

To me, that’s where the fiddlin' began

Late in the evenin' about sundown

High on the hill and above the town

Uncle Pen played the fiddle and oh, how it would ring

You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I’ll never forget that mournful day

When Uncle Pen was called away

Hang up his fiddle, hang up his bow

Knew it was time for him to go

Late in the evenin' about sundown

High on the hill and above the town

Uncle Pen played the fiddle and oh, how it would ring

You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing…
