Old Dan Tucker's 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

Hey get outa the way, old Dan Tucker

Too late to get your supper.

Supper's over and dinner's cookin', an' Ol' Dan Tucker jus' stand there lookin'.

Now old Dan Tucker is come to town

Riding a billy goat leadin' a hound

The hound dog bark and the billy goat jump

Sent Ol' Dan Tucker right straddle of a stump

* Refrain

Now old Dan Tucker he got drunk

Fell in the fire and kicked up a chunk

Gotta live coal in his shoe

And oh my lawd how the ashes flew

* Refrain

Now old Dan Tucker is come to town

Swinging the ladies round and round

First to the right and then to the left

Then to the girl that he loves best

* Refrain
