Uncle Dan

Lyrics

CHORUS
 She can dance to the flute, dance to the fiddle
 She's as neat around the waist as a cow 'round 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 The Widow Malone lived by the strand,
 for forty years without a man;
 She danced around and she waved her fan,
 Set her eyes on my Uncle Dan
 CHORUS
 Now he would not listen to my advice,
 so he married her there on a wintery night;
 she ate all the grub and the party fare,
 drank every man clean under his chair.
 CHORUS
 (Instrumental break)
 Now when he got home on his weddin' night,
 Me Uncle Dan got a hell of a fright!
 She hung her leg upon the wall,
 down on the 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 sent a letter home to her, sayin'
 "Darlin', if you ever need another man,
 You can count me out! Love, Uncle Dan."
 CHORUS
 CHORUS A Capella
