Ol' Dan Tucker Lyrics

I come to town de udder night,
I heard de noise an saw de fight,
De watchman was a runnin roun,
Cryin Old Dan Tucker had come to town.
Chorus:
Now get out de way! Get out de way!
Won't you get out de way! Old Dan Tucker.
Your to late to get yo' supper.

Well Old Dan Tucker wuz a mighty man,
He washed his face in a fryin' pan;
Combed his head wid a wagon wheel
And he died wid de toofache in his heel. (Chorus)

Well Old Dan Tucker is back in town
Swingin' de ladies all around -
First to de right den to de left
Den to de gal he like de best. (Chorus)
Now Old Dan Tucker is a nice old man,
He use to ride our darby ram,
He sent him wizzen down de hill,
If he hadn't got up he'd lay dar still. (Chorus)

Now Old Dan Tucker an I got drunk,
Fell in de fire an kick up a chunk,
De charcoal got inside he shoe,
Lor bless me honey how de ashes flew. (Chorus)

When I went to town to buy some goods
I lost myself in a piece of woods,
De night was dark I had to suffer,
It froze de heel of Daniel Tucker. (Chorus)
Well Tucker was a hardened sinner,
He nebber said his grace at dinner;
De ole sow squeel, de pigs did squal
He ate de 'hole hog tail and all. (Chorus)

And now Old Dan is a gone sucker,
He's never gonna get back home for supper.
Old Dan has had his las' ride,
An' de banjo's buried by his side. (Chorus)

Well I come to town de udder night,
I heard de noise an saw de fight,
De watchman was a runnin roun,
Cryin Old Dan Tucker's come to town. (Chorus)
