[Verse 1]
I came to town the other night
I heard the noise, I saw the fight
The watchman he was runnin' around
Cryin’ ol' Dan Tucker had come to town!

[Chorus]
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!

[Verse 2]
Well, ol' Dan Tucker was a mighty 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

[Chorus]
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!

[Verse 3]
Well, ol' Dan Tucker is back in town
Swingin' the ladies all round
First to the right, then to the left
Then to the gal he liked the best
[Chorus]
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!

[Verse 4]
Now, ol’ Dan Tucker is a nice old man
He used to ride a derby ram
Sent him whizzin' down the hill
If he hadn't gottn' up, he’d a'laid there still

[Chorus]
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!

[Verse 5]
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 the ashes flew!

[Chorus]
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!
[Verse 6]
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

[Chorus]
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!

[Verse 7]
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!

[Chorus]
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!

[Verse 8]
And now Old Dan, he's a gone sucker
He's never gonna get back on this supper
Old Dan, he's had his last right
His banjo buried by his side
[Chorus]
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!

[Verse 1]
Well, I came to town the other night
I heard the noise, I saw the fight
The watchman he was running around
Cryin' ol' Dan Tucker had come to town!

[Chorus]
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!
