He's just 11 years old, way up in the eastern part of Kentucky.
Six years old, he said, but I said he was 11.
But I want you all to get together and make you welcome here tonight.
Ricky Skaggs, come on.
Kentucky Thunder.
Thank you, Bill.
How about you play one with us, huh?
Would you sing one with me, too?
Yes, I would let you.
Yes.
Well, [A] howdy.
How are y'all doing?
Good to see you tonight.
Bill, it's always a pleasure to be on a show with you anywhere we are.
[D] And it's not a big deal.
I'm not trying to correct you or anything, but I was I was six.
I wasn't 11 when I played with you the first time.
Is it OK?
I don't believe you remember your age, right?
[N] [A] Well, maybe I don't.
Actually, if you said it was 11, then I'll [D] I'll [E] agree right now.
[A]
[G] Are y'all doing OK tonight out there in television land?
[A] And we're going to do a song that was a big number one hit record for me.
And boy, he was really glad about this.
Of all the country songs that I've done,
it was really nice to have a bluegrass number one record.
So believe me, I was mighty tickled about this.
And Bill wrote this about his fiddle playing uncle, Uncle Penn.
Get it, boys.
[D] [A]
Boys come from far away, they don't know that every day
you're a little hotter, don't you know that you want to be ready to go?
[D] Hey, even [A] if I sit down and hide you from all the kids
I've been a bit of Lord hat ring, you know here in St.
You [D]
[A] know, [Em] come over,
[Am] [A] come there to.
Me and the soldiers
gotta try to put all that in that word.
[D] Leave [A] it by the widow Lord hat ring
here to hear it save
[D] [A]
I'll never forget that mournful day when all the pain was gone away
And I'm just feelin' it, I'm not just a boy, but that's just how the music [D] goes
And [A] it ain't even about you now, how I feel about you
Let it be the Lord how I'd ring you to head's off, hear it say
And

it ain't even about you now, how I'd ring you to head's off, hear it say
