Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man,

Washed his face in a fryin' pan,

Combed his head with a wagon wheel,

Died with a toothache in his heel



So get out the way, old Dan Tucker,

It's too late to get your supper

Supper's over and dinner is cookin',

Old Dan Tucker just standin' there lookin'



Old Dan Tucker come to town

Swingin' the ladies round and round

First to the right, then to the left,

Then to the one that you love best



Old Dan Tucker clumb a tree

His Lord and master for to see

The limb it broke and he had a fall,

Never got to see his Lord at all



Old Dan Tucker come to town,

Riding a billy goat, leading a hound

The hound dog barked and the billy goat jumped

And it threw old Dan right over a stump



Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man,

Washed his face in a fryin' pan,

Combed his head with a wagon wheel,

Died with a toothache in his heel



So get out the way, old Dan Tucker,

It's too late to get your supper

Supper's over and the dishes are washed

All that's left is a piece of squash
