“ I wish I was in Baltimore, I'd make Secession traitors roar, Right away, come away, right away, come away. We'll put the traitors all to rout. I'll bet my boots we'll whip them out, Right away, come away, right away, come away. ”

Old Dan Tucker
“ Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man He washed his face in a frying pan He combed his hair with a wagon wheel And died with a toothache in his heel. Chorus: So get out of the way for old Dan Tucker He's too late to get his supper Supper's over and dinner's cookin' Old Dan Tucker just stand there lookin'. I come to town the other night I heard the noise and saw the fight The watchman was a-runnin' round Crying "Old Dan Tucker's come to town." Old Dan Tucker is a nice old man He used to ride our darby ram He sent him whizzing down the hill If he hadn't got up, he'd lay there still. ”
Daniel Decatur Emmett,
Old Dan Tucker
“ De limb hit broke an' Dan got a fall— Nuver got to see his Lord at all! Miss Tucker she went out one day, To ride with Dan in a one horse sleigh. De sleigh was broke, and de horse was blind— Miss Tucker she got left behind. ”
