The Fox lyrics

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
