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. |
|
|
|
He grabbed the grey goose by the neck |
|
Throwed a duck across his back |
|
He didn't amind with the quack, quack quack |
|
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 |
|
Didn't amind with the quack, quack quack |
|
And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o. |
|
|
|
Old mother Flipper Flapper jumped 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 town-o |
|
John, John the grey goose is gone |
|
And the fox is on the town-o. |
|
|
|
Well, the fox he came to his own den |
|
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 their life |
|
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o |
|
Never had such a supper in their life |
|
And the little ones chewed on the bones |
|
Never had such a supper in their life |
|
And the little ones chewed on the bones... |
