The Fox

The fox went out on a chase one night;
Prayed to the moon for to gibe him light,
For he'd 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 a great, big pen,
Where the ducks and the geese were kept therein;
He said, A couple o' you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o;
A coply o' you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o



He grabbed the grey goose by the neck,
And throwed a duch across his back;
He didn't mind the quack, quack, quack!
Or the legs all dangling down-o, down-o, down-o;
He didn't mind the quack, quack, quack!
Or the legs al hdangling down-o.

Old Mother Flipperflopper fell out of bed;
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,
And the fox is on the tonw-o.

He ran till he came to his own den;
There were the little ones, eight, nine, ten;
They said, daddy, you'd better go back again
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o;
Daddy, you'd better go back again
'Cause it must be a might fine town-o.

Well, the fox and his wige without and 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-o.
