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 |
