[verse 1]
ol’ dan tucker came to town
riding a billy goat, leading a hound
the hound gave a yelp, the goat gave a jump
and threw poor dan a-straddle of a stump

[chorus]
get out the way for ol’ dan tucker
he’s too late to get his supper
supper’s over, breakfast cookin’
ol’ dan tucker stands there lookin’

[verse 2]
when that night he went to bed
he pulled a nightcap over his head
he tried to sleep, but it wasn’t any use
’cause his legs hung out for the chickens to roost

[chorus]
get out the way for ol’ dan tucker
he’s too late to get his supper
supper’s over, breakfast cooking
ol’ dan tucker stands there looking

[verse 3]
ol’ dan tucker was a mighty man
he washed his face in a frying pan
he combed his hair with a wagon wheel
and had a toothache in his heel

[chorus]
get out the way for ol’ dan tucker
he’s too late to get his supper
supper’s over, breakfast cooking
ol’ dan tucker stands there looking

[verse 4]
dan wore his shirttails outside his coat
b-ttoned his britches up ’round his throat
his nose stuck out, his eyes stuck in
his beard grew out all over his chin

[chorus]
get out the way for ol’ dan tucker
he’s too late to get his supper
supper’s over, breakfast cooking
ol’ dan tucker stands there looking

[verse 5]
ol’ dan tucker went to the mill
to get some meal to put in the swill
the miller swore by the point of his knife
he’d never had seen such a man in his life

[chorus]
get out the way for ol’ dan tucker
he’s too late to get his supper
supper’s over, breakfast cooking
ol’ dan tucker stands there looking

[verse 6]
ol’ dan tucker the other day
took a ride in a one-horse sleigh
horse ran away, sleigh upset
and i haven’t seen anything of daniel yet

[chorus]
get out the way for ol’ dan tucker
he’s too late to get his supper
supper’s over, breakfast cooking
ol’ dan tucker stands there looking

[verse 7]
as dan came down the new cut road
he met br’er terrapin and br’er toad
and every time br’er toad would sing
br’er terrapin cut the pigeon wing

[chorus]
get out the way for ol’ dan tucker
he’s too late to get his supper
supper’s over, breakfast cooking
ol’ dan tucker stands there looking

[verse 8]
ol’ dan tucker climbed a tree
he climbed so high he couldn’t see
stuck his head into a woodpecker’s hole
couldn’t get out to save his soul

[chorus]
get out the way for ol’ dan tucker
he’s too late to get his supper
supper’s over, breakfast cooking
ol’ dan tucker stands there looking

[verse 9]
i went to town the other night
to hear the noise and see the fight
all the people were jumping around
crying “ol’ dan tucker’s come to town!”

[chorus]
get out the way for ol’ dan tucker
he’s too late to get his supper
supper’s over, breakfast cooking
ol’ dan tucker stands there looking

[verse 10]
ol’ dan tucker was a fine old soul
lived nine days in a tater hole
gobbler got him by the snout
he hollered for his friends to help him out

[chorus]
get out the way for ol’ dan tucker
he’s too late to get his supper
supper’s over, breakfast cooking
ol’ dan tucker stands there looking

[verse 11]
ol’ dan tucker went out shooting
there he spied a wild hog rooting
hog whistled up and set them shaking
that was all that saved his bacon

[chorus]
get out the way for ol’ dan tucker
he’s too late to get his supper
supper’s over, breakfast cooking
ol’ dan tucker stands there looking

[verse 12]
ol’ dan began in early life
to play the banjo and the fife
he played the girls and boys to sleep
then into his bunk he’d creep

[chorus]
get out the way for ol’ dan tucker
he’s too late to get his supper
supper’s over, breakfast cooking
ol’ dan tucker stands there looking

[verse 13]
ol’ dan tucker’s still in town
swinging the ladies all around
first to the east and then to the west
and then to the one that he loves best

[chorus]
get out the way for ol’ dan tucker
he’s too late to get his supper
supper’s over, breakfast cooking
ol’ dan tucker stands there looking
