Uncle Dan

TRADITIONAL
NOW THE WIDOW LIVED BY THE STRAND
FOR FORTY YEARS WITHOUT A MAN
SHE DANCED AROUND AND SHE WAVED HER FAN
AND SET HER EYES ON ME UNCLE DAN

CHORUS:
SHE CAN DANCE TO THE FLUTE,DANCE TOTHE FIDDLE
SHE'S AS NEAT AROUND THE WAIST AS A COW AROUND THE MIDDLE
LET HER GO LET HER GO, YOU'LL FIND ANOTHER
THERE'S A LOT OF PRETTY WOMEN AT THE HEAD OF GRAND RIVER

NOW HE WOULD NOT LISTEN TO MY ADVICE
SO HE MARRIED HERE THERE ON A WINTRY NIGHT
SHE ATE ALL THE GRUB AT THE PARTY FAIR
AND DRANK EVERY MAN CLEAN UNDER HIS CHAIR

CHORUS

NOW WHEN HE GOT HOME ON HIS WEDDING NIGHT
ME UNCLE DAN GOT A HELL OF A FRIGHT
SHE HUNG ONE LEG UPON THE WALL
DOWN ON HTE FLOOR HER TEETH DID FALL
ONE GLASS EYE, OFF CAME HER HAIR
AND DOWN THE ROAD ME UNCLE DAN DID TEAR

CHORUS

NOW THEY CLAIM HE RAN TO FRANCE OR SPAIN
AND HE SENT A LETTER HOME TO HER SAYING
DARLING IF YOU EVER NEED ANOTHER MAN
YOU CAN COUNT ME OUT,"LOVE UNCLE DAN"

CHORUS
