Uncle Dan

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
