Old Dan Tucker came to town riding a billy goat leading a hound F C F Hound he barked and the billy goat jumped. Throwed Old Dan right over a stump. So F Bb Git out the way Old Dan Tucker C F Git out the way Old Dan Tucker F Bb Git Out the way Old Dan Tucker C F You’re too late to come to supper. Old Dan Tucker climbed a tree. Long lost hound dog for to see. That limb did broke and Dan did fall. Never saw that dog at all. So, Git out the way Old Dan Tucker Git out the way Old Dan Tucker Git out the way Old Dan Tucker You’re too late to come to supper Old Dan Tucker was a curious man he washed his face with a frying pan Combed his hair with a wagon wheel. And died with a toothache in his heel. So, Git out the way Old Dan Tucker Git out the way Old Dan Tucker Git out the way Old Dan Tucker You’re too late to come to supper. Oh my aunt came back
From Timbuktu She brought with her A wooden shoe Oh my aunt came back From old Japan She brought with her A waving fan Oh my aunt came back From old Algiers She brought with her A pair of shears Oh my aunt came back From Guadeloupe She brought with her A hula hoop Oh my aunt came back From the county fair She brought with her A rocking chair Oh my aunt came back From the city zoo She brought with her A nut like you! Sally go round the sun,
Sally go round the moon, Sally go round the chimney pot,* Every afternoon. Wooh! *Note that in many variations, the last word here is "top," but "pot" seems to be most traditional. This happens with all the folk songs... because these songs are passed on from person aurally, there is no official "correct" set of lyrics.
Old Mr. Johnson
had troubles of his own, He had a yellow cat that wouldn't leave his home. He tried and he tried to give that cat away He found an ocean liner going far, far away CHORUS: But the cat came back the very next day The cat came back they thought he was a goner, The cat came back he just wouldn't stay away Mister Johnson gave the cat to man in a balloon He said, "Please take this cat and leave it on the moon." The balloon came down about ninety miles away Where the man is now, well, no one wants to say. CHORUS Mister Johnson gave the cat to a fellow heading west He said, "The cat's a present for the one you love the best." First the train hit the track Then it bounced and jumped a rail Not a person stayed around to tell the gruesome tale. CHORUS The cat was now a father with a family of his own They lived with Mister Johnson 'til there came a cyclone It tore the house apart and tossed the cats around The air was filled with kittens The cat could not be found CHORUS There was a man
Now please take note There was a man Who had a goat He loved that goat Indeed he did He loved that goat Just like a kid One day that goat Felt frisk and fine Ate three red shirts Right off the line The man he grabbed Him by the back And tied him to The railroad track And when that train Came into sight That goat grew pale And green with fright He heaved a sigh As if in pain Coughed up those shirts And flagged the train! I know a gal that you don't know
