Lyrics

Old Dan Tucker, he’s 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’d come to town
Riding a billy goat, leading a hound
Hound dog barked, billy goat jumped
Landed Dan Tucker on a 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 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
