American Negro Folklore (1968)

[Margaret Lee]

I learned it as "Old Dan Tucker was a _mean_ old man."


> Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man,
> Washed his face in a fryin' pan,
> Combed his hair with a wagon wheel,
> Died with the toothache in his heel.
>
 And the chorus as, "Get out the way, old Dan Tucker/You're too late to stay for supper/Supper's over, breakfast cookin'/Old Dan Tucker stand there lookin'.

Margaret L.


Get out of the way of old Dan Tucker
Too late to get his supper
Supper's over and dinner's cookin'
Old Dan Tucker just standin' there lookin'

Wilson, just wondering
