The Fox - Nickel Creek

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 the (?) 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»

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 woman 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!»

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

They cut up the 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

(Yeah)
