Went to town the other night
To hear the noise and see the fight
Everybody was a-jumpin’ around
Sayin’ Old Dan Tucker is comin’ to town
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You’re too late to get yer supper
Supper’s over and dinner’s cookin’
Old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin’
Old Dan Tucker came to town
Swingin’ the ladies all around
First to the right and then to the left
Then to the gal that he loved the best
Dan began early in his life
To play the banjo and win a wife
But every time he’d company keep
He’d play himself fast asleep
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You’re too late to get yer supper
Supper’s over and dinner’s cookin’
Old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin’
Old Dan Tucker came to town
Ridin’ a billy-goat and leading a hound
Hound barked, billy-goat jumped
Throwed Dan Tucker upside the stump
Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
Washed his face in the frying pan
He combed his hair with a wagon wheel
Died of the toothache in his heel
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You’re too late to get yer supper
Supper’s over and dinner’s cookin’
Old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin’
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You’re too late to get yer supper
Supper’s over and dinner’s cookin’
Old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin’
Get out the way
Get out the way
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
You’re too late to get yer supper
