Cryin Old Dan Tucker’s come to town,

Tucker is a nice old man,
He use to ride our darby ram;
He sent him whizzen down de hill,
If he had’nt got up he’d lay dar still.

Down de road foremost de stump,
Massa make me work de pump;
I pump so hard I broke de sucker,
Dar was work for ole Dan Tucker.

Here’s my razor in good order
Magnum bonum – jis hab bought ’er;

I lost myself in a piece of woods,
De night was dark I had to suffer,
It froze de heel of Daniel Tucker.

He fell in de fire an kick up a chunk,
De charcoal got inside he shoe
Lor bless you honey how de ashes flew.

De ole sow squeel, de pigs did squall
He ’hole hog wid de tail and all.
