Now old Dan Tucker was a fine old man

Washed his face in a frying pan

Combed his hair with a wagon wheel

Died with a toothache in his heel



Get out of the way, old Dan Tucker

You're too late to get your supper

Get out of the way, old Dan Tucker

You're too late to get your supper



Old Dan Tucker, he's come to town

Riding a billy goat, leading a hound

Hound dog barked and the billy goat jumped

Landed Dan Tucker on top of the stump



Get out of the way, old Dan Tucker

You're too late to get your supper

Get out of the way, old Dan Tucker

You're too late to get your supper



Now old Dan Tucker sat on a trunk

And fell in the fire and kicked up a chunk

Red-hot coal fall down in his shoe

Oh my Lord, how the ashes flew



Get out of the way, old Dan Tucker

You're too late to get your supper

Get out of the way, old Dan Tucker

You're too late to get your supper



Now old Dan Tucker has come to town

Swinging the ladies round and round

First to the right and then to the left

Then to the girl that he loves best



Get out of the way, old Dan Tucker

You're too late to get your supper

Get out of the way, old Dan Tucker

You're too late to get your supper



Get out of the way, old Dan Tucker

You're too late to get your supper

Get out of the way, old Dan Tucker

You're too late to get your supper



Get out of the way, old Dan Tucker

You're too late to get your supper

Get out of the way, old Dan Tucker

You're too late to get your supper
