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

get out the way for ol’ dan tucker

supper’s over, breakfast cookin’
ol’ dan tucker stands there lookin’

he tried to sleep, but it wasn’t any use

ol’ dan tucker stands there looking

he washed his face in a frying pan
he combed his hair with a wagon wheel

he’s too late to get his supper
supper’s over, breakfast cooking
ol’ dan tucker stands there looking

b-ttoned his britches up ’round his throat
his nose stuck out, his eyes stuck in

supper’s over, breakfast cooking
ol’ dan tucker stands there looking

to get some meal to put in the swill
the miller swore by the point of his knife

he met br’er terrapin and br’er toad
and every time br’er toad would sing
br’er terrapin cut the pigeon wing

he climbed so high he couldn’t see
stuck his head into a woodpecker’s hole

swinging the ladies all around
first to the east and then to the west
and then to the one that he loves best

he’s too late to get his supper
supper’s over, breakfast cooking
ol’ dan tucker stands there looking
