I come to town the other night.
Heard the noise and I saw the fight.
The watchman was a-runnin' roun'
Cryin' Old Dan tucker's come to town.
So get out of the way, old Dan Tucker
You're too late to stay for supper.
Supper's over and breakfast's cookin'
Old Dan Tucker, stand there and watch.
Oh, Dan, he went to the mill.
to get some meal to put in his swill
The miller swore by the point of his knife.
He never seen such a man in his life.
Old Dan Tucker's scared a skunk
He fell into the fire and kicked a big piece.
A red-hot Coal rolled in his shoe.
How my, oh, my, ashes are flying.
Old Dan Tucker was a mighty man.
Washed his face in a frying pan.
combed his hair with a wagon wheel
and dired with a tootheache in his heel.
