Live 19 Nov 2006 version
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
Get out the way, old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Well, old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
Washed his face with a fryin' pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
And died with a toothache in his heel
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
Well old Dan Tucker come to town
Riding a billy goat, leading a hound
Hound dog barked, the billy goat jumped
Landed old Tucker on a stump
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
Well old Dan Tucker got drunk and fell
And the fire he kicked up- holy hell!
A red-hot coal got in his shoe
And oh my Lord the ashes flew
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
Swinging them ladies all round
First to the right then to the left
Then to the gal that he loved best
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
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
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
Get out the way, old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
[Spoken:] Yes, well done! Whoah!
The above lyrics are for the live 19 Nov 2006 performance of OLD DAN TUCKER at Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, during The Seeger Sessions Tour. The parts in bold are sung by the crowd. The live 19 Nov 2006 version of OLD DAN TUCKER was released on the Live In Dublin album and home video in 2007.
At the end of the Seeger Sessions Tour, the three-night stand at Point Theater in Dublin, Ireland, (17-18-19 Nov 2006) was filmed with nine High Definition cameras. A selection of 23 songs from these three nights was officially released on 05 Jun 2007 on the Live In Dublin album and home video, credited to "Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band". "Seeger" was dropped from the band's name for this release, apparently due to the fact that many of the songs are Springsteen originals from his earlier records, or covers that are not related to Pete Seeger.
Live In Dublin is available in four formats: 2-CD set, standard DVD, 2-CD/1-DVD combo set, and Blu-ray disc.
The album charted in several countries, but only made it to #1 in Ireland.
