Testo
I came to town the other night
I heard the noise, I saw the fight
The watchman he was runnin' around
Crying "Ol' Dan Tucker had come to town"!
Now get out the way
Get out the way
Won't you Get out the way Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Ol' Dan Tucker was a mighty man
He washed his face in a fryin' pan
Combed his head with a wagon wheel
And he died wid a tooth-ache in his heel
Now get out the way
Get out the way
Won't you Get out the way Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Well, Ol' Dan Tucker is back in town
Swinging the ladies all around
First to the right then to the left
Then to the gal he like best
Now get out the way
Get out the way
Won't you Get out the way Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Now, Ol' Dan Tucker is a nice old man
He used to ride our darby ram
He sent him whizzin' down the hill
If he hadn't got up, he'd lay there still
Now get out the way
Get out the way
Won't you Get out the way Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Now, Ol' Dan Tucker and I got drunk
He fell in the fire kicked up a chunk
When the charcoal got inside his shoe
Lord bless me, honey how the ashes flew!
Now get out the way
Get out the way
Won't you Get out the way Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Well, I went to town to buy some goods
I lost myself in a piece of woods
The night was dark. I had to suffer
I froze to the heel of Daniel Tucker
Now get out the way
Get out the way
Won't you Get out the way Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Well that Tucker was a hardened sinner
He never said his grace at dinner
The old sow squeal, the pigs did squall
He ate the whole hog – tail and all
Now get out the way
Get out the way
Won't you Get out the way Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
And now Ol' Dan is a gone sucker
He's never gonna get back home to supper
Ol' Dan, he has had his last ride
The banjo buried by his side
Now get out the way
Get out the way
Won't you Get out the way Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Well, I came to town the other night
I hear the noise, I saw the fight
De watchman he was runnin' around
Cryin' "Ol' Dan Tucker had come to town"!
Now get out the way
Get out the way
Won't you Get out the way Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
