    Tangleweed "Fox on the Town"




    "The Fox"

    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
