My dad used to sing this song when I was a kid. I am not sure of it's origin but from the sound of it I think that it is an old appalachian folk tune. It is a catchy song with a catchy tune, I wish I could write the music to it.
OLE DAN TUCKER
I went down town the other night
heard a noise and saw a fight
saw a madman runnin' around
screamin' Ole Dan Tucker's come to town
So get out the way Ole Dan Tucker
You too late to stay for supper
Supper's over
Breakfast's cookin'
Ole Dan Tucker standin' there lookin'
Now Ole Dan Tucker was a mighty man
Washed his face with a fryin' pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
Died with a toothache in his heel.
So get out the way Ole Dan Tucker
You too late to stay for supper
Supper's over
Breakfast's cookin'
Ole Dan Tucker standin' there lookin'

I've heard that song. I think it is a mountain tune. (Not sure though.)
