作曲 : Daniel Decatur Emmett/1841
I came to town the other night
I heard the noise I saw the fight
The watchman he was a'running around
Cried Ol’ Dan Tucker had come to town!
Now, Get out the way! Get out the way!
Won't you get out the way, Ol' Dan Tucker
You’re too late to get your supper
Well, Ol' Dan Tucker was a mighty old man
He washed his face in a frying pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
And he died with a toothache in his heel
Now, Get out the way! Get out the way!
Won't you get out the way, Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Well, Ol' Dan Tucker is back in town
Swinging the ladies all round
First to the right, then to the left
Then to the gal he liked the best
Now, Get out the way! Get out the way!
Won't you get out the way, Ol' Dan Tucker
You’re too late to get your supper
Now, Ol’ Dan Tucker is a nice old man
He used to ride a Darby ram
Sent him whizzing down the hill
If he hadn't got up, he'd lay dar still
Now, Get out the way! Get out the way!
Won’t you get out the way, Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Now Ol' Dan Tucker and I got drunk
Fell in the fire, kicked up a chuck
The charcoal got inside his shoe
Lord, Bless me, honey, how de ashes flew!
Now, Get out the way! Get out the way!
Won't you get out the way, Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Well I went to town, to buy some goods
I lost myself in a piece a woods
The night was dark, I had to suffer
I froze to the heel of Daniel Tucker
Now, Get out the way! Get out the way!
Won't you get out the way, Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Well now, Tucker was, a hardened sinner
He never said his grace at dinner
The old sow screamed, the pig did squaw
He ate the whole hog, tail and all
Now, Get out the way! Get out the way!
Won't you get out the way, Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
And now Old Dan, he's a gone sucker
He's never gonna get back on the supper
Old Dan, he's had his last right
His banjo buried by his side
Now, Get out the way! Get out the way!
Won't you get out the way, Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Well, I came to town the other night
I heard the noise I saw the fight
The watchman he was running around
Cried Ol' Dan Tucker had come to town!
Now, Get out the way! Get out the way!
Won't you get out the way, Ol' Dan Tucker
You're too Late (late) (late), to get your supper!
