I went to town the other night I hear the noise and see the fight Everybody was jumping around Saying Old Dan Tucker's come to town Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker You're too late to get the supper Supper's over and dinner cookin', Old Dan Tucker just standin' lookin Old Dan Tucker came to town Swings the ladies all around First to the right then to the left And then to the gal he love the best. Dan began early in his life, To play the banjo to win a wife, But every time he'd company keep, He'd play himself fast asleep. Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker You're too late to get the supper Supper's over and dinner cookin', Old Dan Tucker just standin' lookin Old Dan Tucker came to town, Riding a billy-goat and leading a hound The hound dog barked and billy-goat jumped Throwed Dan Tucker right straddlin' a stump. Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man, He washed his face in the frying pan, He combed his hair with a wagon wheel, And died of a toothache in his heel. Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker You're too late to get the supper Supper's over and dinner cookin', Old Dan Tucker just standin' lookin Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker You're too late to get the supper Supper's over and dinner cookin', Old Dan Tucker standin' lookin Get out the way, get out the way Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker You're too late to get the supper.
