The Fox Lyrics by We Banjo 3

2015

Oh, The Fox went out on a chilly night
And he prayed to 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
Many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o
He ran till he came to the farmers den
And 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"
He grabbed the great goose by the neck
And he threw a duck across his back
And he didn't mind the quack, quack, quack
And the legs all dangling down-o, down-o, down-o
He didn't mind the quack, quack, quack
And the legs all dangling down-o
Oh the old gray mother, she jumped out of bed
And she opened the window and she popped out her head
Saying Johnny, John the great goose is gone
And the Fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o
Johnny, John the great goose is gone
And the Fox is on the town-o
He ran back down, down to the den
And the little ones there 8, 9, 10
Sayin' Daddy, Daddy better go back again
It must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o
Daddy, Daddy better go back again
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 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-o
Oh, The Fox went out on a chilly night
And he prayed to 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
Many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o
