Old Dan Tucker
Traditional
Went to town the other night
To hear a noise and see a fight
All the people standing around
Cryin’ Old Dan Tucker’s back in town
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
Your too late to get your supper
Supper’s over & dinner’s cooking
Old Dan Tucker’s just a standing there lookin’
Old Dan Tuckers a fine old man
Washed his face in afrying pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
Died with a toochache in his heel
Old Dan Tucker came to town
Riding a Billygoat huggin a hound
Hound dog barked and the billy goat jumped
Old Dan fell straddle of a stump
Old Dan Tucker clumb a tree
His lord and master all to see
The limb it broke and Dan he fell
Never got to see his lord at all
Old Dan Tucker he got drunk
Fell in the fire and kicked up a chunk
Red hot coal in his hoe
Lord go mighty how the ashes flew
Old Dan Tucker come to town
Swing the ladies round and round
First to the right & then to the left
And then to the pretty girl he love best
