Well, Old Dan Tucker, was a fine old man,
Washed his face in a frying pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
Died with a toothache in his heel

Get out of the way! Old Dan Tucker,
You're too late to get your supper.
Get out of the way! Old Dan Tucker,
You're too late to get your supper.

Old Dan Tucker, he'd come to town
Riding a billy goat, leading a hound
The hound dog barked, the billy goat jumped
Landed 'Ol Tucker on a stump!

Get out of the way! Old Dan Tucker,
You're too late to get your supper
Get out of the way! Old Dan Tucker,
You're too late to get your supper

Now Old Dan Tucker got drunk and fell
In the fire and kicked up holy hell
A red-hot coal fell in his shoe
And oh my Lord the ashes flew

Now old Dan Tucker has come to town
Swinging them ladies all around
First to the right and then to the left
Then to the gal that he loves best

Get out of the way! Old Dan Tucker,
You're too late to get your supper
Get out of the way! Old Dan Tucker,
You're too late to get your supper

My daughter has been walking around singing this song for a week! I hadn't heard it in a good thirty years and now I'm overrun by Old Dan Tucker.

:rofl:

I learned this song when I was 4 or 5.

I think that's about when I learned it too. :)

Drinks so much that he can't think
Takes his pisses in the sink
Farts in public, sure does stink.

Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
Serves ya right, you beer bottle sucker
Lost your wife to a cross-town trucker
'Cause you came home too drunk to fuck 'er!

:thumbsup:

Get out of the way! Old Dan Tucker,
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over and dinner's cookin'
Old Dan Tucker jus' stands there lookin'

(I think I heard that on an episode of Bonanza.)

I love to sing along with it at the top of my voice. :)

:hi:

I had a shipmate named Dan Tucker. He used to buy Carlton cigarettes and then rip the filters off and smoke 'em straight.

we'd have had to toss him over the side. He was a more than competent engineering officer, and knew how to have a really good time in port.

...specifically by Mr. Edwards.

I love this song, too. I have heard that it was the first example of syncopation in white-written American music.
