The Fox

The Fox - Burl Ives (伯爾·艾夫斯)

Written by：Cochran

Fox went out on a chilly night

He prayed for the moon to give him light

For he'd many a mile to go that night

Before he reached the town o town o town o

He'd many a mile to go that night

Before he reached the town o

He ran 'til he came to a great big pen

Where the ducks and the geese were put there in

A couple of you will grease my chin

Before I leave this town o town o town o

A couple of you will grease my chin

Before I leave this town o

He grabbed the gray goose by the neck

Throwed a duck across his back

He didn't mind their quack quack quack

And their legs a dangling down o down o down o

He didn't mind their quack quack quack

And their legs a dangling down o

Then old Mother flipper flopper jumped out of bed

Out of the window she cocked her head

Crying John John The gray goose is gone

And the fox is on the town o town o town o

Crying John John The gray 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 cozy den

There were the little ones eight nine ten

They said Daddy better go back again

'Cause it must be a 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 the bones o the bones o

They never had such a supper in their life

And the little ones chewed on the bones o
