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 tin
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o A couple of you are gonna grease my tin
Before I leave this town _ -o _ _ _ _ _

He grabbed a great goose by the neck He threw a [E] duck across his [A] back
And he didn't mind [D] the quack-quack [A] And the legs all [E] dangling down-o, down-o, down [D]-o
He didn't [A] mind the quack-quack [E] And the legs all [A] dangling down-o
Well, the old grey woman jumped out of bed Out of the window she popped her head
[A] Crying, John, John, [D] the great goose is gone [E] The fox is on the town-o, town [A]-o, town [D]-o
John, John, [E] 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 little ones eight, nine, ten
Saying, Daddy, Daddy, better go back again 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 They got on the goose [E] with a fork and a knife
And they never had such a supper in their life And the little bones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o
They never had such a supper in their [E] life And the little bones [A] chewed on the bones
