The Fox Lyrics

The fox went out to the chase one night
Prayed to the moon to give him light
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
Many a mile to go that night before he reached the town

He ran 'til he came to a great big pen
Where the ducks and the geese were kept there in
Said a couple of you gonna grease my chin
Before i leave this town o, town o, town o
Couple of you gonna grease my chin before i leave this town
Couple of you gonna grease my chin before i leave this town

And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o
Didn't amind with the quack, quack quack
And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o

Out of the window she cocked her head
Cryin' john, john the grey goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o
John, john the grey goose is gone

There were the little ones, eight, nine, ten
Saying daddy you better go back again
'cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o
Saying daddy you better go back again
'cause it must be a mighty fine town
Saying daddy you better go back again
'cause it must be a mighty fine town

Well, the fox and his wife without any strife
Cut up the goose with a carving knife
They never had such a supper in t
