[VERSE 1]
Oh the [D]fox went out on a [D]chilly night
[D]Prayed for the moon to [A7]give him light
For he had [D]many a mile to [G]go that night
Be[D]fore he [A7]reached the [D]town-o, [A7]town-o, [D]town-o
[D]Many a mile to [G]go that night be[D]fore he [A7]reached the [D]town-o
[VERSE 2]
He [D]ran 'til he came to a [D]great big pen
Where the [D]ducks and the geese were [A7]kept therein
He said, "A [D]couple of you are gonna [G]grease my chin
Be[D]fore I [A7]leave this [D]town-o, [A7]town-o, [D]town-o
A [D]couple of you are gonna [G]grease my chin be[D]fore I [A7]leave this [D]town-o!"
[VERSE 3]
He [D]grabbed the grey goose [D]by the neck
[D]Threw the ducks a[A7]cross his back
He didn't [D]mind the "[G]quack, quack, quack"
And the [D]legs all [A7]danglin' [D]down-o, [A7]down-o, [D]down-o
He didn't [D]mind the "[G]quack, quack, quack" and the [D]legs all [A7]danglin' [D]down-o
[VERSE 4]
Then [D]old mother Flipper Flopper [D]jumped out of bed
[D]Out of the window she [A7]popped her head
Cryin', "[D]John, John, the grey [G]goose is gone
And the [D]fox is [A7]on the [D]town-o, [A7]town-o, [D]town-o
[D]John! John! The grey [G]goose is gone and the [D]fox is [A7]on the [D]town-o!"
[VERSE 5]
Then [D]John he ran to the [D]top of the hill
[D]Blew his horn both [A7]loud and shrill
The [D]fox he said, "I better [G]flee with my kill
For they'll [D]soon be [A7]on my [D]trail-o, [A7]trail-o, [D]trail-o,"
The [D]fox he said, "I better [G]flee with my kill for they'll [D]soon be [A7]on my [D]trail-o"
[VERSE 6]
Well he [D]ran til he came to his [D]cozy den
[D]There were his little ones, [A7]eight, nine, ten
Cryin', "[D]Daddy, daddy, better [G]go back again
Cause it [D]must be a [A7]mighty fine [D]town-o, [A7]town-o, [D]town-o
[D]Daddy, daddy, better [G]go back again cause it [D]must be a [A7]mighty fine [D]town-o!"
[VERSE 7]
Then the [D]fox and his wife, with[D]out any strife
[D]Cut up the goose with a [A7]carving knife
They [D]never had such a [G]supper in their life
And the [D]little ones [A7]chewed on the [D]bones-o, [A7]bones-o, [D]bones-o
They [D]never had such a [G]supper in their life and the [D]little ones [A7]chewed on the [D]bones-o!
Oh the [D]fox went out on a [D]chilly night
[D]Prayed for the moon to [A7]give him light
For he had [D]many a mile to [G]go that night
Be[D]fore he [A7]reached the [D]town-o, [A7]town-o, [D]town-o
[D]Many a mile to [G]go that night be[D]fore he [A7]reached the [D]town-o
[VERSE 2]
