CAPO III


INTRO: C  F  G7  C (2x)

    C                    F
Now Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
G7                   C
Washed his face in a fryin' pan
                       F
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
    G7                    C
And died with a toothache in his heel


CHORUS:
C                F
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
G7                 C
You're too late to get your supper
                 F
Get out the way, Old Dan Tucker
G7                 C
You're too late to get your supper


INTRO


Now Old Dan Tucker come to town
Ridin' a billy goat, leadin' a hound
The hound goes bark, the billy goat jumped
And landed Old Tucker on a stump


CHORUS


INTRO


Now Old Dan Tucker got drunk and fell
In the fire and kicked up holy hell
A red-hot coal got in his shoe
And oh my Lord the ashes flew


CHORUS


INTRO


Now Old Dan Tucker come to town
Swingin' them ladies all around
First to the right and then to the left
Then to the gal that he loved the best


CHORUS (2x)


INTRO
