Old Dan Tucker’s Daughter versuri

Versuri Tanya Tucker – Old Dan Tucker's Daughter lyrics

Mama died havin’ me
And papa tried to raise me
And then he took to drinking
When I was only three

I’d follow him and his guitar
Along the streets of Mobile
Where he’d sing for just a drink and a lollipop for me
Then at night he sat me on the bar
While he did some singin’
I played with his old railroad watch
When I was a dancin’

And I passed around his worn out hat
They’re pitchin’ down some quarters
Oh, how proud I was to be
Old Dan Tucker’s daughter

Things seemed to go from bad to worse
As I grew sadly older
And Papa looked so down and out
Failin’ more each day

And pride I always felt to him
Slowly turned to pity
And Lord, you know it broke my heart
Each time I hear them say

Get out away
Old Dan Tucker
Take this dime and take this quarter
Get out away
Old Dan Tucker
Take your wine and take your daughter

Papa died just today
A cold grey Mobile morning
Now here I stand all alone
Crying on his grave

Not a single soul from Mobile
Came to wish him well his journey
But at least for Papa’s goin’
No one there will say
Hey, get out away
Old Dan Tucker…
