The writers subsituted lines in Old Dan Tucker. The lyrics are...
Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man
He washed his face in the frying
pan
He combed his hair with a wagon wheel
And died of the toothache in his
heel
Chorus:
Get out the way for old Dan Tucker
He's too late to git his
supper
Supper's over and dishes washed
Nothing left but a piece of
squash
Old Dan Tucker went to town
Riding a mule and leading a hound
Hound
barked and mule jumped
Threw old Dan right over a stump
Chorus
I come to town the other night
I hear the noise and saw the fight
The
watchman was arunning around
Crying "Old Dan Tucker's come to Town"
Old Dan he went down to the mill
To get some meal to put in the
swill
The miller swore by the point of his knife
He never see'd such a man
in his life
Tucker is a nice old man
He used to ride our darby ram
He sent him
whizzin' down the hill
If he hadn't got up, he'd lay there still
Chorus
Old Dan begun in early life
To play the bango and the fife
He play the
children all to sleep
And then into his bunk he'd creep
Chorus
Of course they didn't sing all of the versus but the chorus lines stand.

an old wives tale"...."Johnny Paul ain't married"........
