Old Dan Tucker
"Old Dan Tucker" originally comes from an American minstrel song from the 1840's.
Old Dan Tucker
Folk Song
Old Danny Tucker was a dirty old man,
He washed his face in the frying pan,
Combed his hair with the leg of a chair,
Died with a toothache in his hair.
Notes
The sheet music was first published for this song in 1843.
