The Fox went out on a chilly night
|
He prayed for the moon to give him light
|
For he had many a mile to go that night
|
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o
|
He had many a mile to go that night
|
Before he reached the town-o
|
|
He ran till he came to the farmers pen
|
The ducks and the geese were kept therein
|
He said a couple of you are gonna grease my chin
|
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o
|
A couple of you are gonna grease my chin
|
Before I leave this town-o
|
|
[BRIDGE (Mandolin)]
|
|
He grabbed the great goose by the neck
|
He threw a duck across his back
|
And he didn't mind the quack, quack
|
And the legs all danglin' down-o, down-o, down-o
|
He didn't mind the quack, quack
|
And the legs all danglin' down-o
|
|
Well the old gray Woman jumped out of bed
|
Out of the window she popped her head
|
Cryin' John, John the great goose is gone
|
The Fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o
|
John, John the great goose is gone
|
And the Fox is on the town-o
|
|
[BRIDGE (Fiddle)]
|
|
He ran till he came to his nice warm den
|
And there were the little ones 8, 9, 10
|
Sayin' Daddy, Daddy better go back again
|
It must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o
|
Daddy, Daddy go back again
|
For it must be a mighty fine town-o
|
|
The Fox and his Wife, without any strife
|
They cut up the goose with a fork and a knife
|
And they never had such a supper in their life
|
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o
|
They never had such a supper in their life
|
And the little ones chewed on the bones
|
