Old Dan Tucker - Various Artists

I come to town the other night

Heard the noise and I saw the fight

The watchman was a-runnin' roun'

Cryin' Old Dan tucker's come to town

So get out the way Old Dan Tucker

You're too late to stay for supper

Supper's over and breakfast's cookin'

Old Dan Tucker standin' there lookin'

Well Old Dan he went down to the mill

To get some meal to put in his swill

The miller swore by the point of his knife

He never seen such a man in his life

So get out the way Old Dan Tucker

You're too late to stay for supper

Supper's over and breakfast's cookin'

Old Dan Tucker standin' there lookin'

Old Dan Tucker's scared a skunk

And he fell in the fire

And he kicked up a chunk

A red-hot Coal rolled in his shoe

And my oh my how the ashes flew

So get out the way Old Dan Tucker

You're too late to stay for supper

Supper's over and breakfast's cookin'

Old Dan Tucker standin' there lookin'

Well Old Dan Tucker was a mighty man

Washed his face in a frying pan

Combed his hair with a wagon wheel

And dired with a tootheache in his heel

So get out the way Old Dan Tucker

You're too late to stay for supper

Supper's over and breakfast's cookin'

Old Dan Tucker standin' there lookin'
