The Fox-Peter, Paul & Mary

[00:07.47]Oh the fox went out on a chilly night [00:10.17]Prayed for the moon to give him light [00:12.41]For he had many a mile to go that night [00:14.99]Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o, [00:20.02]Many a mile to go that night before he reached the town-o [00:29.33]He ran 'til he came to a great big pen [00:31.63]Where the ducks and the geese were kept therein [00:33.88]He said, "A couple of you are gonna grease my chin [00:36.42]Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o, [00:41.15]A couple of you are gonna grease my chin before I leave this town-o!" [00:50.82]He grabbed the grey goose by the neck [00:53.06]Threw the ducks across his back [00:55.45]He didn't mind the "quack, quack, quack" [00:57.85]And the legs all danglin' down-o, down-o, down-o, [01:02.87]He didn't mind the "quack, quack, quack" and the legs all danglin' down-o [01:11.99]Then old mother Flipper Flopper jumped out of bed [01:14.37]Out of the window she popped her head [01:16.76]Cryin', "John, John, the grey goose is gone [01:19.05]And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o, [01:23.94]John! John! The grey goose is gone and the fox is on the town-o!" [01:28.83]Then John he ran to the top of the hill [01:31.02]Blew his horn both loud and shrill [01:33.36]The fox he said, "I better flee with my kill [01:35.69]For they'll soon be on my trail-o, trail-o, trail-o," [01:40.62]The fox he said, "I better flee with my kill for they'll soon be on my trail-o" [01:54.35]Well he ran til he came to his cozy den [01:56.81]There were his little ones, eight, nine, ten [01:59.15]Cryin', "Daddy, daddy, better go back again [02:01.55]Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o, [02:06.18]Daddy, daddy, better go back again cause it must be a mighty fine town-o!" [02:14.56]Then the fox and his wife, without any strife [02:17.05]Cut up the goose with a carving knife [02:19.73]They never had such a supper in their life [02:30.91]And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o, [02:35.69]They never had such a supper in their life and the little ones chewed on the bones-o!
