Old Dan Tucker

Written in 1843

(G) Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
washed his face in a (D7) frying (G) pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
died with a toothache (D7) in his (G) heel
Get outta the way (C) old Dan Tucker
(D7) you're too lateto (G) come for supper
Supper's over and (C) dinner's cooking
(D7) old Dan Tucker just stand there (G) lookin'

Old Dan Tucker came to town
riding a billy goat (D7) leading a (G) hound
Hound dog bark, billy goat jump
Throw'd Dan Tucker right (D7) over that (G) stump
Get outta the way (C) old Dan Tucker
(D7) you're too late to (G) come for supper
Supper's over and (C) dinner's cooking
(D7) old Dan Tucker just stand there (G) lookin'

Old Dan Tucker he got drunk
Fell in the fire and (D7) kicked up a (G) chunk
A big hot coal got in his shoe
Oh my God! How the (D7) ashes (G) flew
Get outta the way (C) old Dan Tucker
(D7) you're too late to (G) come for supper
Supper's over and (C) dinner's cooking
(D7) old Dan Tucker just stand there (G) lookin'

Old Dan Tucker come to town
Swinging the ladies (D7) round and (G) round
First to the right and then to the left
and then to the one that (D7) you love (G) best
Get outta the way (C) old Dan Tucker
(D7) you're too late to (G) come for supper
Supper's over and (C) dinner's cooking
(D7) old Dan Tucker just stand there (G) lookin'
