PETER, PAUL & MARY
"The Fox"


Oh the fox went out on a chilly night
Prayed for 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 a great big pen
Where the ducks and the geese were kept therein
He said, a couple of you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o,
A couple of you are gonna grease my chin before
I leave this town-o!

He grabbed the grey goose by the neck
Threw the ducks across his back
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

Then old mother flipper flopper jumped out of bed
Out of the window she popped 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!

Then john he ran to the top of the hill
Blew his horn both loud and shrill
The fox he said, I better flee with my kill
For they▓ll soon be on my trail-o, trail-o, trail-o,
The fox he said, I better flee with my kill for
they▓ll soon be on my trail-o

Well he ran til he came to his cozy den
There were his little ones, eight, nine, ten
Cryin▓, daddy, daddy, better go back again
Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o,
Daddy, 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 carving 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!
