Uncle Dan

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 to the 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 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 he sent a letter home to her saying Darling if you ever need another man You can count me out,"love uncle Dan" [Chorus]
