Ol’ Dan Tucker 2nd South Carolina String Band

[Verse 1]
I came to town the other night
I heard the noise, I saw the fight
The watchman he was runnin' around
Cryin’ ol' Dan Tucker had come to town!

[Chorus]
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!

[Verse 2]
Well, ol' Dan Tucker was a mighty man
He washed his face in a frying pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
And he died with a toothache in his heel

[Chorus]
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!

[Verse 3]
Well, ol' Dan Tucker is back in town
Swingin' the ladies all round
First to the right, then to the left
Then to the gal he liked the best
