Old Dan Tucker

Old Dan Tucker as sung by the character Isaiah Edwards--played by Victor French:

Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man

Washed his face in a fryin’ pan

Combed his hair with a wagon wheel

And died with a toothache in his heel

Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker

You’re too late to get your supper

Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker

You’re too late to get your supper

Old Dan Tucker come to town

Riding a billy goat, leading a hound

The hound dog barked and billy goat jumped

And landed old Dan Tucker on a stump

Get out of the way, Old Dan Tucker

You’re too late to get your supper

Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker

You’re too late to get your supper

Old Dan Tucker got drunk and fell

In the fire and kicked up holy hell

A red-hot coal got in his shoe

An oh my Lord the ashes flew

Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
