Nickel Creek - The Fox (live) lyrics

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 going to grease my chin before I leave this town-o He grabbed the gray 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 women jumped out of bed Out of the window she popped her head Cryin': John, John, the gray goose is gone The fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o John, John the gray goose is gone and the fox is on the town-o He ran till he came to his nice warm den And there were the little ones eight, nine, ten 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
