Old Dan Tucker

Now old Dan Tucker's fine old man
Washed hid face in a fryin' pan
Combed his head with a wagon wheel
And died with a toothache in his heel

Get out the way, old Dan Tucker
        You're roo lste to ger your srpper
        Get out the way, old Dan Tucker
        You're too late to get your suppe

Now old Dan Tucker is come to town
Riding a billy goat leading a hound
Hound dog bark and the billy goat jump
Landed Dan Tucker on top of the stump

* Refrain

Now old Dan Tucker he got drunk
Fell in the fire and kicked up a chunk
Red hot coal got in his shoe
And oh my lawd how the ashes flew

* Refrain

Now old Dan Tucker is 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

* Refrain
