"The Fox" lyrics - THE IRISH ROVERS
Well The fox came out on the chase one night
He prayed to the Moon to give him light,
For he'd had many miles to go that night
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o,
For he'd had many miles to go that night
Before he reached the town-o.
Well He ran till he came to a great big pen
Where the ducks and the geese were kept therein.
"A couple of you were gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o,
"A couple of you were gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o."
He grabbed the grey goose by the neck,
He slopped an old duck across his back;
He didn't mind with their quack, quack, quack,
And their legs all a-dangling down-o, down-o, down-o,
He didn't mind with their quack, quack, quack,
And their legs all a-dangling down-o.
Old Mother Flipper-Flopper[3] jumped out of bed;
And out of the window she cocked her head,
Crying, "John, John! The grey goose is gone
And the fox is away to the den-o (god)!"
Crying, "John, John, the grey goose is gone
And the fox is away to the den-o
Then The Fox he came down to his old den;
There were the little ones eight, nine, ten.
Sayin', "Daddy, you better go back again,
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o!"
Sayin', "Daddy, you better go back again,
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o."
And then the fox and his wife without any strife
Cut up the goose with a carving knife.
But 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.
Bones-o, bones-o,
They never had such a supper in their life
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o.
