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 til he came to the farmers den
And the ducks and the geese he kept there in
Said a couple a you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o
Town-o, town-o
A couple a you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o
Oh, he grabbed a grey 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 danglin' down-o
Down-o, down-o
He didn't mind the quack, quack, quack
And the legs all danglin' down-o
Oh, the ol grey mother she jumped outta bed
And she opened the window and she bopped on her head
Sayin' Johnny John the grey goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o
Town-o, town-o
Johnny John the grey goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o
He ran back down, down to the den
Where the little ones there 8, 9, 10
Sayin' daddy, dad you better go back again
It must be a mighty fine town-o
Town-o, town-o
Daddy, dad you better go back again
It must be a mighty fine town-o
Oh, the fox and his wife without any strife
And he cut up the goose with a fork and knife
And they never had such a supper in their life
And the little chewin' at the bones-o
Bones-o, bones-o
They never had such a supper in their life
And the little ones chewin' at 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
