Old Dan Tucker

Bruce Springsteen · Live In Dublin [2007]

Old Dan Tucker, he's a fine old man,

Washed his face in a frying pan

Combed his hair with a wagon wheel

Died of a toothache in his heel



Get out of the way! Old Dan Tucker,

You're too late to get your supper

Supper's gone, dinner is a cooking

Old Dan Tucker just a standing there looking



Old Dan Tucker, he'd come to town

Riding a billy goat, leading a hound

Hound dog barked, billy goat jumped

Landed Dan Tucker on the top of a stump!



Get out of the way! Old Dan Tucker,

You're too late to get your supper

Supper's gone, dinner is a cooking

Old Dan Tucker just a standing there looking



Now old Dan Tucker has come to town

Swinging the ladies round and round

First to the right and then to the left

Then to the girl that he loves best



Get out of the way! Old Dan Tucker,

You're too late to get your supper

Supper's gone, dinner is a cooking

Old Dan Tucker just a standing there looking
