Great request! That’s actually an old time tune, not written by Monroe. I’ve got it on the list!

Bill Monroe. once sang the words… "He sang an old tune called ‘Soldiers Joy’ and the one they called ‘Boston Boy’., his favorite of all was ‘Jenny Lind’, to me, that’s when the fiddlin’ begins. :wink:

Quiz: What BIll Monroe song is this line from that he mentioned three song titles in?

Uncle Pen

Update: I didn’t even pay attention that @Archie already answered.

I can say I was lucky enough to hear Sam Bush sing Uncle Penn in October the n Ricky Skaggs sing it about 3 weeks later. Sam Bush played fiddle on the song.
