[Verse 1]
G
The Fox went out on a chilly night

Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o

Many a mile to go that night
D G
Beore he reached the town-o

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

C G
John, John the great goose is gone
D G
And the Fox is on the town-o
[Verse 5]

And there were the little ones: eight, nine, ten

Cryin', dad, dad, you better go back again
G D G D G
For it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o
C G
Dad, dad, you better go back again
D G
For it must be a mighty fine town-o
[Verse 6]

The Fox and his Wife, without any strife

They cut up the goose with the carving knife

They never had such a meal in their life
G D G D G
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o
C G
They never had such a meal in their life
D G
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o
