Peter, Paul and Mary - The fox

Oh the ^Dfox went out on a ^Dchilly night ^DPrayed for the moon to ^A7give him light For he had ^Dmany a mile to ^Ggo that night Be^Dfore he ^A7reached the ^Dtown-o, ^A7town-o, ^Dtown-o ^DMany a mile to ^Ggo that night be^Dfore he ^A7reached the ^Dtown-o

He ^Dran 'til he came to a ^Dgreat big pen Where the ^Dducks and the geese were ^A7kept therein He said, "A ^Dcouple of you are gonna ^Ggrease my chin Be^Dfore I ^A7leave this ^Dtown-o, ^A7town-o, ^Dtown-o A ^Dcouple of you are gonna ^Ggrease my chin be^Dfore I ^A7leave this ^Dtown-o!"

He ^Dgrabbed the grey goose ^Dby the neck ^DThrew the ducks a^A7cross his back He didn't ^Dmind the "^Gquack, quack, quack" And the ^Dlegs all ^A7danglin' ^Ddown-o, ^A7down-o, ^Ddown-o He didn't ^Dmind the "^Gquack, quack, quack" and the ^Dlegs all ^A7danglin' ^Ddown-o

Then ^Dold mother Flipper Flopper ^Djumped out of bed ^DOut of the window she ^A7popped her head Cryin', "^DJohn, John, the grey ^Ggoose is gone And the ^Dfox is ^A7on the ^Dtown-o, ^A7town-o, ^Dtown-o ^DJohn! John! The grey ^Ggoose is gone and the ^Dfox is ^A7on the ^Dtown-o!"

Then ^DJohn he ran to the ^Dtop of the hill ^DBlew his horn both ^A7loud and shrill The ^Dfox he said, "I better ^Gflee with my kill For they'll ^Dsoon be ^A7on my ^Dtrail-o, ^A7trail-o, ^Dtrail-o," The ^Dfox he said, "I better ^Gflee with my kill for they'll ^Dsoon be ^A7on my ^Dtrail-o"

Well he ^Dran til he came to his ^Dcozy den ^DThere were his little ones, ^A7eight, nine, ten Cryin', "^DDaddy, daddy, better ^Ggo back again Cause it ^Dmust be a ^A7mighty fine ^Dtown-o, ^A7town-o, ^Dtown-o ^DDaddy, daddy, better ^Ggo back again cause it ^Dmust be a ^A7mighty fine ^Dtown-o!"

Then the ^Dfox and his wife, with^Dout any strife ^DCut up the goose with a ^A7carving knife They ^Dnever had such a ^Gsupper in their life And the ^Dlittle ones ^A7chewed on the ^Dbones-o, ^A7bones-o, ^Dbones-o They ^Dnever had such a ^Gsupper in their life and the ^Dlittle ones ^A7chewed on the ^Dbones-o!
