Old Dan Tucker Lyrics

Get out de way!
Get out de way! Old Dan Tucker.
You're too late to come to supper.
I come to town de udder night,
I hear de noise an saw de fight,
De watchman was a runnin roun,
Cryin Old Dan Tucker's come to town.

Chorus.

So get out de way! Get out de way!
Get out de way! Old Dan Tucker.
You're too late to come to supper.
Old Dan Tucker, he got drunk,
He fell in the far (fire) and kicked up a chunk,
A red hot coal fell down his shoe,
Oh my goodness, what'll I do?
Go on home, ole Dan Tucker,
You're too late to get your supper.

Old Daniel 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
