Old Dan Tucker

歌詞

Spoken: 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
