Lyrics:
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 rached the town-o

He ran til he came to the Farmer's pen
The ducks and 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 neck
And he threw a duck across his back
And he didn't mind the quack, quack
and the legs all dangling down-o, down-o, down-o
He didn't mind the quack, quack
And the legs all dangling down-o

The old grey woman jumped out of bed
She ran to the window and popped out her head
Crying John, John the great goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o
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
And there were the little ones , eight, nine, ten
Sayin' Daddy, Daddy better go back again
It must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o
Daddy, Daddy better go back again for it must be a mighty fine town-o

The fox and his wife, without any strife
They cut up the goose with a fork and a knife
And 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
