Old Dan Tucker

Hello folks, you know I been a-pickin' and tryin' to pick a banjer for
Forty years or more. I used to just play the imitations, but now I'm
A-gonna give you a little of the variations of 'Casey Jones'

Instrumental

"spoken:"
Gentlemen - now folks,
I'm a-gonna give you a little of 'Old Dan Tucker'
Containing more heterogeneous, constopolitan double flavour and
Unknown quality than usual

Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
Washed his face in the frying pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
Died with a toothache in his heel

Git out of the way, Old Dan Tucker
You come too late to get your supper

Tucker was a horrid sinner
Never said grace over his dinner
The old hog squealed, the pig did squall
Held the whole hog with the tail and all

Git out of the way, Old Dan Tucker
You come too late to get your supper

Old Tom Wilson got on a drunk
Fell in the fire and kicked up a chunk
Charcoal got inside the shoe
I'll bet you, honey, how the ashes flew

Git out of the way, Old Dan Tucker
You come too late to get your supper

Chug the booze and Choctaw cider
Lemon extract and old Budweiser
Hostetter's Bitters and the doctor's tonic
The good book says it'll do good for the stomach
