Daniel Decatur Emmett
Old Dan Tucker (Live in Dublin)
[Sung by audience]
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
Get out the way, old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper

Well, old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
Washed his face with a fryin' pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
And died with a toothache in his heel

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 a billy goat, leading a hound
Hound dog barked, the billy goat jumped
Landed old Tucker on a stump

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 got drunk and fell
And the fire he kicked up- holy hell!
A red-hot coal got in his shoe
And, oh my Lord, the ashes flew

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

Old Dan Tucker come to town
Swinging them ladies all around
First to the right, and then to the left
Then to the gal that he loved best

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
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
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
[Sung by audience]
Get out the way, old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper

Yes, well done! Whoah!
