Old Dan Tucker's Daughter Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Mama died hav[A]in' me and
[G]papa tried to raise [D]me
And [G]then he took [D]to drinking
when I was only [A]three
I'd [D]follow him and [A]his guitar
[G]along the streets of [D]Mobile
Where he'd [G]sing for just [D]a drink
and a [C]lollipop for [D]me

[Verse 2]
Then at [D]night he sat me [A]on the bar
[G]while he did some [D]singin'
I [G]played with his old [D]railroad watch
when I was [A]a dancin'
And I [D]passed around his [A]worn out hat
they're [G]pitchin' down some [D]quarters
[G]Oh how proud I [D]was to be [C]old
Dan Tucker's daughter
[D]

[Verse 3]
Things seemed to go from [A]bad to
worse as [G]I grew sadly o[D]lder
And [G]papa looked so [D]down and
out failin' more each [A]day
And [D]pride I always [A]felt to him
[G]slowly turned [D]to pitty
And [G]Lord you know it [D]broke my
heart each [C]time I hear them [D]say

[Verse 4]
[D]Get out away [G]old Dan Tucker [A]take
this dime and [D]take this quarter
Get out away [G]old Dan Tucker [A]take your wine
and take your [D]daughter

[Interlude 1]
[D][Eb][Ab][Bb][Eb]

[Verse 5]
[Eb]Papa died [Bb]just today a [Ab]cold
grey Mobile [Eb]morning
Now [Ab]here I stand [Eb]all alone
crying on his [Bb]grave
Not [Eb]a single soul from [Bb]Mobile came
to [Ab]wish him well his [Eb]journey
But [Ab]at least for papa's [Eb]goin'
[C#]no one there will say
[Eb]

[Verse 6]
[Ab]
[Bb]Hey [Eb]get out a[Eb]way old D[Ab]an Tucker...

[Outro 1]
[Bb][Eb]
