Fox and the goose
ChordsFox went out on a chilly night,
Prayed for the moon for to give him light,
For he'd many a mile to go that night,
A-fore he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o,
He'd many a mile to go that night,
A-fore he reached the town-o.
He ran till he came to a great big bin,
Where the ducks and the geese were put
there-in,
'A couple of you will grease my chin,
A-fore I leave this town-o,
Town-o, town-o,
A couple of you will grease my chin,
A-fore I leave this town-o'.
He grabbed the grey goose by the neck,
Throwed a duck across his back,
He didn't mind their quack, quack, quack,
And their legs all dangling down-o,
Down-o, down-o,
He didn't mind their quack, quack, quack
With their legs all dangling down-o.
Then old mother Flipper-Flopper jumped out of
bed,
Out of the window she cocked her head,
Crying, 'John! John! The grey goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o!'
Town-o, town-o,
Crying, 'John! John! The grey goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o!'
Then John, he went to the top of the hill,
Blowed his horn both loud and shrill;
The fox, he said, 'I better flee with my kill
Or they'll soon be on my trail-o,'
Trail-o, trail-o,
The fox, he said, 'I better flee with my kill
Or they'll soon be on my trail-o.'
He ran till he came to his cosy den,
There were the little ones eight, nine, ten.
They said, 'Daddy, better go back again,
'Cause it must be mighty fine town-o.'
Town-o, Town-o,
They said, 'Daddy, better go back again,
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o.'
Then the fox and his wife without any strife,
Cut up the goose with a fork and 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,
