Fox

[G]The fox went out on a chilly night
He prayed for the moon to [D]give him light
[G]For heâd many a mi[C]le to go that night
[G]Before he [D]reached the [G]town-o, [D]town-o, [G]town-o
[C]Heâd many a mi[G]le to go that n[D]ight, before he reache[G]d the town-o

[G]He ran til he came to the farmerâs pen
The ducks and the geese were [D]kept therein
[G]He said, ãa couple of you are[C] gonna grease my chin,
[G]Before I [D]leave this [G]town-o, [D]town-o, [G]town-oä
[C]Said a couple of you are gonna [G]grease my chin,[D] before I leave this [G]town-o

[G]He grabbed the great goose by the neck
And he threw a duck [D]across his back
[G]And he didnât min[C]d the quack, quack
[G]And the legs all [D]dangling [G]down-o, [D]down-o, [G]down-o
[C]He didnât mind t[G]he quack, quack and t[D]he legs all dangli[G]ng down-o

[G]The old grey woman jumped out of bed
Out of the window she [D]popped her head,
[G]Crying John, John, the great [C]goose is gone
[G]And the fox is [D]on the [G]town-o, [D]town-o, [G]town-o
[C]John, John, the great [G]goose is gone and the [D]fox is on the [G]town-o

[G]He ran til he came to his nice warm den
And there were the little ones, [D]eight, nine, ten
[G]Sayin Daddy, Daddy, better [C]go back again
[G]For it must be a [D]might fine [G]town-o, [D]town-o, [G]town-o
[C]Daddy, Daddy, [G]go back again for it [D]must be mighty fine [G]town-o

[G]The fox and his wife, without any strife
Cut up the goose with a [D]fork and a knife
[G]They never had such a [C]supper in their life
[G]And the little ones [D]chewed on the [G]bones-o, [D]bones-o, [G]bones-o
[C]They never had such a [G]supper in their life
And the [D]little ones chewed on the [G]bones
