The Fox

Tabbed by: Adam Morgan The fox went out on a chilly night He prayed for the moon to give him light For heâd many a mile to go that night Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o Heâd many a mile to go that night, before he reached the town-o He ran til he came to the farmerâs pen The ducks and the geese were kept therein He said, ãa couple of you are gonna grease my chin, Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-oä Said a couple of you are gonna grease my chin, before I leave this town-o He grabbed the great goose by the neck And he threw a duck across his back And he didnât mind the quack, quack And the legs all dangling down-o, down-o, down-o He didnât mind the quack, quack and the legs all dangling down-o The old grey woman jumped out of bed Out of the window she popped her head, Crying John, John, the great goose is gone And 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 He ran til he came to his nice warm den And there were the little ones, eight, nine, ten Sayin Daddy, Daddy, better go back again For it must be a might fine town-o, town-o, town-o Daddy, Daddy, go back again for it must be mighty fine town-o The fox and his wife, without any strife Cut up the goose with a fork and a knife 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
