Old Daddy Fox
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 till he came to the farmer's pen. 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.' Said 'A couple of you are gonna grease my chin Before I leave this town-o.'
He grabbed the great goose by the neck And he slung a duck across his back And 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!' And the legs all danglin' down-o.
The old grey woman jumped out of bed, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com She ran to the window and stuck out her head Crying 'John, John, the great goose is gone And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o!' Crying 'John, John, the great goose is gone And the fox is on the town-o!'
He ran till he came to his nice warm den. Fair little-little ones, eight, nine, ten, Sayin' 'Daddy, Daddy, better go back again, For it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o. Daddy, Daddy, go back again, For it must be a mighty fine town-o.'
The fox and his wife, without any strife, Cut up that goose with a fork and a 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.
