Going Where the Lonely Go

Lyrics

I went to town the other night
 I hear the noise and see the fight
 Everybody was jumping around
 Saying Old Dan Tucker's come to town
 Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
 You're too late to get the supper
 Supper's over and dinner cookin',
 Old Dan Tucker just standin' lookin
 Old Dan Tucker came to town
 Swings the ladies all around
 First to the right then to the left
 And then to the gal he love the best.
 Dan began early in his life,
 To play the banjo to win a wife,
 But every time he'd company keep,
 He'd play himself fast asleep.
 Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
 You're too late to get the supper
 Supper's over and dinner cookin',
 Old Dan Tucker just standin' lookin
 Old Dan Tucker came to town,
 Riding a billy-goat and leading a hound
 The hound dog barked and billy-goat jumped
 Throwed Dan Tucker right straddlin' a stump.
 Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man,
 He washed his face in the frying pan,
 He combed his hair with a wagon wheel,
 And died of a toothache in his heel.
 Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
 You're too late to get the supper
 Supper's over and dinner cookin',
 Old Dan Tucker just standin' lookin
 Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
 You're too late to get the supper
 Supper's over and dinner cookin',
 Old Dan Tucker standin' lookin
 Get out the way, get out the way
 Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker
 You're too late to get the supper.
