Nickel Creek - The Fox Lyrics
The Fox went out on a chilly nightHe prayed for the moon to give him lightFor he had many a mile to go that nightBefore he reached the town-o, town-o, town-oHe had many a mile to go that nightBefore he reached the town-oHe ran till he came to the farmers penThe ducks and the geese were kept thereinHe said a couple of you are gonna grease my chinBefore I leave this town-o, town-o, town-oA couple of you are gonna grease my chinBefore I leave this town-o[BRIDGE (Mandolin)]He grabbed the great goose by the neckHe threw a duck across his backAnd he didn't mind the quack, quackAnd the legs all danglin' down-o, down-o, down-oHe didn't mind the quack, quackAnd the legs all danglin' down-oWell the old gray Woman jumped out of bedOut of the window she popped her headCryin' John, John the great goose is goneThe Fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-oJohn, John the great goose is goneAnd the Fox is on the town-o[BRIDGE (Fiddle)]He ran till he came to his nice warm denAnd there were the little ones 8, 9, 10Sayin' Daddy, Daddy better go back againIt must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-oDaddy, Daddy go back againFor it must be a mighty fine town-oThe Fox and his Wife, without any strifeThey cut up the goose with a fork and a knifeAnd they never had such a supper in their lifeAnd the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-oThey never had such a supper in their lifeAnd the little ones chewed on the bones
