The Fox - Burl Ives (伯尔·艾夫斯)

The 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 therein

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 bones-o bones-o

They never had such a supper in their life

And the little ones chewed on the bones-o
