Old Dan Tucker
Traditional, new lyrics by Wayne Potash

Well Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
He washed his face in a frying pan
Combed his head with a wagon wheel
And got a toothache in his heel

(chorus)
Get out the way Old Dan Tucker
You’re too late to get your supper
Get out the way Old Dan Tucker
You’re too late to get your supper

Well Old Dan Tucker come to town
Riding on a billy goat, leading a hound
Hound dog barked and the billy goat jumped
Landed Dan Turker on an old tree stump

(repeat chorus)

Old Dan Tucker got chased by a skunk
He fell in the campfire and kicked up a chunk
A red hot coal got in his shoe
He started jumping up and down like a kangaroo
(repeat chorus)

Well Old Dan Tucker come dancing to town
Swinging his friends around and around
First to the right and then to the left
Then to the one that he loves best
(repeat chorus)

Well that Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
He washed his face in a frying pan
Combed his head with a wagon wheel
And got a toothache in his heel
(repeat chorus)

That’s right Dan Tucker
Come on you’re in the way over here
Give us some space here Dan Tucker
(repeat chorus)

Think you’re gonna have to wait for breakfast Dan Tucker
Here I’ll give you a little snack
Come on back!
