The fox went out on a chilly night
D
He prayed for the moon to give him light
GC
For he'd many a mile to go that night
GDGDG
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o
CGDG
He'd many a mile to go that night, before he reached the town-o
G
He ran til he came to the farmer's pen
D
The ducks and the geese were kept therein
GC
He said, a couple of you are gonna grease my chin,
GDGDG
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o
CGDG
Said a couple of you are gonna grease my chin, before I leave this town-o

He grabbed the great goose by the neck
D
And he threw a duck across his back
GC
And he didn't mind the quack, quack
GDGDG
And the legs all dangling down-o, down-o, down-o
CGDG
He didn't mind the quack, quack and the legs all dangling down-o
G
The old grey woman jumped out of bed
D
Out of the window she popped her head,
GC
Crying John, John, the great goose is gone
GDGDG
And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o
CGDG
John, John, the great goose is gone and the fox is on the town-o
G
He ran til he came to his nice warm den

And there were the little ones, eight, nine, ten
GC
Sayin Daddy, Daddy, better go back again
GDGDG
For it must be a might fine town-o, town-o, town-o
CGDG
Daddy, Daddy, go back again for it must be mighty fine town-o
G
The fox and his wife, without any strife
D
Cut up the goose with a fork and a knife
GC
They never had such a supper in their life
GDGDG
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o
CG
They never had such a supper in their life
DG
And the little ones chewed on the bones
