Went to town the other night
Hear the noise and see the fight
Everybody was jumping around
Saying Old Dan Tucker is comin' to town
Get out the for Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Supper's over and dinner cookin',
Old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin
Old Dan Tucker came to town
Swingin' the ladies all around
First to the right and then to the left
Then to the gal that he loved the best.
Dan began early in his life,
To play the banjo and win a wife,
But every time he'd company keep,
He'd play himself fast asleep.
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Supper's over and dinner's cookin',
Old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin'
Old Dan Tucker came to town
Riding a billy goat and leading a hound
The hound barked, the billy goat jumped
Throwed Dan Tucker upside the stump.
Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man,
Washed his face in the frying pan,
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel,
Died of a toothache in his heel.
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Supper's over and dinner's cookin',
Old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin' (x2)
Get out the way, get out the way
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper.
