I come to town the other night
I heard the noise and saw the fight
The watchman was a-runnin' roun' Cryin'
Old Dan Tucker's come to town

Chorus
So get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
He's too late to come for supper

Old Dan. he went down to the mill
To get some meal to put in the swill
The miller swore by the point of his knife
He never seen such a man in his life

Repeat Chorus

Old Dar Tucker was a fine old man
Washed his face in a frying pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
Died wit? a toothache in his heel

Repeat Chorus
