Subject: RE: Old Dan Tucker From: J. Hartley Date: 30 Oct 96 - 11:12 PM Check out Folk Song USA by J Lomax. Of course there are other books. If you can't find a copy I'll type out verses. There are many versions. Lomax has 9 verses, but I've seen more. Let me know if I can help further. |

Subject: Old Dan Tucker From: Karen Kenna Date: 26 Jul 97 - 09:54 AM My grandmother used to sing a song that talked about "combed his hair (head?) with a wagon wheel and died with a toothache in his heel". Does anyone know the whole song? Any help would be appreciated. |

Subject: RE: Old Dan Tucker From: Dale Rose Date: 26 Jul 97 - 11:16 AM The whole song?? I think it has about 80 verses or so! Friends of mine do a version with 16 verses, and I have a tape (somewhere) of them singing it. If no one else can come up with more, I will start looking for it for you. |
