The Fox went out on a chilly night
  He 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
  He had many a mile to go that night
  Before he reached the town-o
    He ran till he came to the farmers pen
  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
    [BRIDGE (Mandolin)]
    He grabbed the great goose by the neck
  He threw a duck across his back
  And 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
    Well the old gray Woman jumped out of bed
  Out of the window she popped her head
  Cryin' John, John the great goose is gone
  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
    [BRIDGE (Fiddle)]
    He ran till he came to his nice warm den
  And there were the little ones 8, 9, 10
  Sayin' 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 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
