the fox - peter hollens lyrics
oh the fox went out on a chilly night
prayed for 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 ’til he came to the (?) pen
where 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 grey goose by the neck
threw the ducks across his back
he didn’t mind the “quack, quack”
and the legs all danglin’ down-o, down-o, down-o
he didn’t mind the “quack, quack,” and the legs all danglin’ down-o
the old woman jumped out of bed
out of the window, she popped 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!”
well he ran til he came to his cozy den
there were his little ones, eight, nine, ten
cryin’, “daddy, daddy, better go back again
cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o
daddy, daddy, better go back again cause it must be a mighty fine town-o!”
then the fox and his wife, without any strife
they 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
(yeah)
