John Langstaff - Ol' Dan Tucker lyrics



Old Dan Tucker came to town
Riding on a billy goat
Leading a Hound
The Goat gave a jump
The Hound gave a yelp

Get out of the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over
Breakfast cooking
Old Dan Tucker stands there looking

When at night he went to bed
He pulled a night cap over his head
He tried to rest
But it Wasn't any use
His legs hung out for the chickens to roost

Get out of the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over
Breakfast cooking
Old Dan Tucker stands there looking

Old Dan Tucker was a mighty man
He washed his face in a frying pan
He combed his hair with a wagon wheel
And had a toothache in his heel

Get out of the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over
Breakfast cooking
Old Dan Tucker stands there looking

Get out of the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over
Breakfast cooking
Old Dan Tucker stands there looking

Dan wore his shirttails on the outside his coat
He buttoned his britches up around his throat
His nose stuck out
His eyes stuck in
His beard grew out all over his chin.

Get out of the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over
Breakfast cooking
Old Dan Tucker stands there looking

Old Dan Tucker went to the mill
to get some meal
to put in the swill
The miller swore by the point of his knife
he'd never seen such a man in his life

Get out of the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over
Breakfast cooking
Old Dan Tucker stands there looking

Old Dan Tucker the other day Took a ride in a one-horse sleigh
Horse ran away.
Sleigh upset
And I haven't seen anything of Daniel yet.

Get out of the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over
Breakfast cooking
Old Dan Tucker stands there looking

As Dan came down the new cut road
He met Brer Terrapin and Brer Toad
And every time Brer Toad would sing
Brer Terrapin cut the pigeon wing

Get out of the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over
Breakfast cooking
Old Dan Tucker stands there looking

Old Dan Tucker climbed a tree
Climbed so high he couldn't see
Stuck his head in a woodpecker's hole
Couldn't get out to save his soul

Get out of the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over
Breakfast cooking
Old Dan Tucker stands there looking

I went to town the other night
To hear the noise
And see the fight
All the people were jumping round
Crying Old Dan Tucker's come to town

Get out of the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over
Breakfast cooking
Old Dan Tucker stands there looking

Old Dan Tucker was a fine old soul
Lived nine days in a tater hole
Goblin got him by the snout
He hollered to his friends to help him out

Get out of the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over
Breakfast cooking
Old Dan Tucker stands there looking

Old Dan Tucker went out shooting
There he spied a wild hog rooting
Hog bristled up and set Dan shaking
That was all that saved his bacon

Get out of the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over
Breakfast cooking
Old Dan Tucker stands there looking

Old Dan began in early life
to play the banjo and the fife
He played the boys and girls to sleep
And then into his bunk he'd creep.

Get out of the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over
Breakfast cooking
Old Dan Tucker stands there looking

Old Dan Tucker's still in town
Swinging the ladies all around
First to the East
And then to the West
Then to the one that he loves best

Get out of the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over
Breakfast cooking
Old Dan Tucker stands there looking

Get out of the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over
Breakfast cooking
Old Dan Tucker stands there looking
