Old Daddy Fox
guitar chords lyrics
The fox went out on a chilly night.
He prayed for the moon to give him light
For he'd many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o.
He'd many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o.
He ran till he came to the farmer's 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."
Said "A couple of you are gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o."
He grabbed the great goose by the neck
And he slung a duck across his back
And he didn't mind the "QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!"
He grabbed the great goose by the neck
And he slung a duck across his back
And 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!"
And the legs all danglin' down-o.
The old grey woman jumped out of bed,
She ran to the window and stuck out her head
Crying "John, John, the great goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o!"
Crying "John, John, the great goose is gone
And the fox is on the town-o!"
He ran till he came to his nice warm den.
Fair little-little ones, eight, nine, ten,
Sayin' "Daddy, Daddy, better go back again,
For 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,
Cut up that goose with a fork and a 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.
