The Fox Went Out - Paul Austin Kelly

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

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

He grabbed the great goose by the neck

He threw a duck across his back

He didn't mind the quack quack quack

And the legs all danglin' down-o down-o down-o

He didn't mind the quack quack quack

And the legs all danglin' down-o

Well old Mother Flipper-Flopper jumped out of bed

Out of the window she popped her head

She cried 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

Then John he went to the top of the hill

And he blowed his horn both loud and shrill

The fox he said I'd better flee with my kill

Or they'll soon be on my trail-o trail-o trail-o

The fox he said I'd better flee with my kill

Or they'll soon be on my trail-o

He ran till he came to his cozy den

There were the little ones eight nine ten

They said daddy better go back again

'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o town-o town-o

Daddy better go back again

'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o

Well then the fox and his wife without any strife

They cut up the goose with a carving knife

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-o
