The Fox

The Fox - The Brothers Four

The fox went out to the windy 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

He ran 'til he came to a might he then

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

Once 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 oh

Now 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

Well Johnny round to the top of the hill

When blue chill to the top of the hill

And the fox is here to the run with the trill

And see me on the trill

Trail oh

Trail oh

Fox is run better in the trill

'Cause see me in the trail oh

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

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
