[darcydarcy123]

we are singing this for a Patriotic themed school concert and i didnt kno the lyrics so i just figured i would look it up and i get this....haha

[TheWambaugh]

I think this version is even better than the one on the Seeger Sessions DVD in Dublin.

It's a shame there wasn't a huge crowd for this show. I'd go even if Bruce planned on singing the phone book!

[clawlesslawless]

Got free tickets to seem him in dublin a few years back,wasnt a big Bruce fan before that,was a massive fan after .

[LooneyToonPete]

HAPPY ST PADDYS DAY

[princejosh59]

4 people didn't get their supper...

[kellerj0]

A great songwriter who had the misfortune to be born in new jersey, so he spent most of his career making beautiful poetry about a state that is nothing but turnpikes, tolls, and douchebags.

[Radim24]

does somebody know where to get chords for this song?

[ThePatwheel]

4.37 does he say "get out the way" to his banjo player?

[cjone33]

wish i could take my great unlce to see this he use to bring his guitar to family dinners and looking back now i didn't realize how good he was till a seen an old home video the other day funny how you don't miss some things till there gone, maybe thats why everybody always tell younger people to appreciate things.

[FoxLtd]

...is that his boy pickin' the Banjo?!@#$%

[gravitybomb87]

@estenis @estenis Actually, this song was written by Daniel Emmett, who led the Viriginia Minstrels, a white musical group, in the 1840s. Blackface minstrelsy involved "blacking" up one's face and acting out stock characters on stage, like Zip Coon and Jim Crow. It was INCREDIBLY racist, as the songs and lyrics were written from the perspectives of white people, creating characters that "played the fool" for the enjoyment and laughter of singularly white audiences.

[TheAndrewDobbs]

i'm doin this song for my choir concert tonight and next friday

[sjm1785]

Good job Bruce--you killed it. Think the wiggles did it more justice.

[runningcop1]

check the improvisation!! great

[ViggyIggy]

why a racial under ton when you are black? iam a mix from black latino and white but the way i see it when the song is over a white old man it would be okay???

[JAMESCELLY2]

im 13 and i love this :O

[runningcop1]

@JAMESCELLY2 i'm 13 too and this is great!! i'm dutch :p

[puhl117]

@JAMESCELLY2 who cares if youre 13 this is the music you should like!!

[frwgt350net]

Bruce Springsteen is a great artist but i can only take about 2 or 3 songs then i've had enough of him..

[hannahreece10]

Um, Dan Tucker was NOT black, and actually, it was entirely likely that he owned slaves (who wrote the song). The song probably dates farther back than 1843. He ran a ferry across the Savannah river in Elbert county, was a reverend, and had been in the Virginia Milita during the Revolutionary war. He is my ancestor, actually, on my father's mother's side (She was Mewburn Tucker, married to Tom Tucker, Elbert County, GA.) Dan Tucker is buried in Elbert County off of Heardmont Road.

[keeperofthecheese]

why are they booing at the beginning?

[SwingRiots]

@keeperofthecheese Its "Brooooooooce".

[Corradovonfustenberg]

on minute 1.22 is very clear who is the boss!!!

You still fill our hearth day by day!! Thanks!

God bless you

[RoddyPiper5]

I wanted to buy the DVD today, but I hadn't enough money with me :(

[LooneyToonPete]

Ye Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[niljuanzo]

If you think these lyrics have racial undertones, look up the lyrics from the 20's and what not...they are blatently racist

[janieusa]

Bruce - The Boss of all musicians.

You ain't heard nothing 'til you've seen 'n' heard The boss live! :)

[Schnellbusfahrer]

[Doefkemelker]

Mr. Edwards song from Litle house on the prairie :D

[WEIRDALROXMYSOX]

[nebraska9000]

He probably saw it on the andy griffith show and was inspired to record it

[SwampDaddy7]

And you can do better? Don't mess with the Boss.

[nebraska9000]

I wan't knockin' it, I was just sayin'. I still love his rendition of it.

[SwampDaddy7]

[coneyislbebe]

Figures that it would take the brilliant Springsteen to dust off this absolute gem!

[YayforComments]

[CDULsSassetti]

Concordo contigo.

[WSHSkins44]

I saw Bruce at RFK Stadium in DC 1985. He hasn't lost a thing since then.

[irisvila]

aket tio és fantàstic

[kuhlschrank2000]

ja ho pots ben dir!

[fignon]

Unbelievable that this show was so poorly attended, all the european gigs were packed!

[michaelcoolen]

great artist and an old song. This song actually has a lot of negative racial under tons (dan tucker is black). its amazing now day how many sogs we know were written in the 20's 30's and 40's. this song dates back to 1843

[kmd97]

@michaelcoolen

yawn

[hannahreece10]

Um, no, Dan Tucker was not black. He owned slaves, actually, and they are the ones that wrote the song. He's my ancestor. Buried in Elbert County, Georgia. Dad's mother was a Tucker.  Dan Tucker born 1750, served in Virginia milita, moved to GA on land grant.

[TheAverageProJoe]

@hannahreece10 You must feel proud mate, but wikipedia says he was born 1740 not 50.

[moderngrandpa]

Old Dan Tucker" was written by slaves about a man named Daniel Tucker who lived in Elbert County, Georgia. Tucker was a farmer, ferryman, and minister who appears in records from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Dan Tucker was my 6th Great Grandfather and was adored by black people for his kindness to them.
