Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting the music video of Spoon Lady & the Tater Boys performing Old Dan Tucker

"Old Dan Tucker" Cisco, Houston, traditional
Lyrics
"Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
Washed his face in a fryin' pan
Combed his head with a wagon wheel
Died with a toothache in his heel
[Chorus:]
Get out the way, old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Get out the way, old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Old Dan Tucker come to town
Riding a billy goat, leading a hound
The hound dog barked and the billy goat jumped
And it threw old Dan right over a stump
[Chorus:]
Now Old Dan Tucker sat on a trunk
Fell in the fire
Kicked up a junk
Red hot coal got in his shoe
Oh my how the ashes flew
[Chorus:]
Well Old Dan Tucker has come to town
Swinging the ladies round and round
First to the right and then to the left
And then to the girl that he loves best
[Chorus: Repeat 4X]"

Wonderful rendition. I used to drive up to Elberton Georgia and get scrap granite for projects like retaining walls etc..On the way up there was a kind of old crazy fellow who had a junk yard next to what had been his home. He no longer lived in the house, it was full of junk, but he lived in an old Chevy van. Along with junk he sold boiled peanuts. I used to stop by and visit. To say the old fellow was a character is an understatement. A friend told me he was the last living decendent of “Old man Tucker” of the song fame.
