Ole Dan Tucker

Cat. #1414 (MFH #481) - As sung by Sara Jo Fendley, Leslie, Arkansas on April 23, 1962

VERSE 1
Ole Dan Tucker was a fine ole man
Washed his face in a fryin' pan
Combed his fair with a wagon wheel
An' died with a toothache in his heel

CHORUS:
Get out'a th way for ole Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's eat an' breakfast cookin'
Ole Dan Tucker standin' there lookin'

VERSE 2
Ole Dan Tucker, he got drunk
He fell in th fire an' kicked out'a chunk
Chunk got in Dan's ole shoe
O, my golly, how th ashes flew

VERSE 3
Ole Dan Tucker, down in town
Ridin' a goat and leadin' a hound
Hound gave a yelp an' goat gave a jump
Left ole Dan a straddle of a stump
