The [A]Fox went out on a chilly night
He [A]prayed for the moon to [E7]give him light
For he had [A]many a mile to [D]go that night
Be-[A]fore he [E7]reached the [A]town-o
[E7]Town-o, [A]town-o
He had [D]many a mile to [A]go that night
Be-[E7]fore he reached the [A]town-o [A]
He [A]ran till he came to the farmer’s pen
The [A]ducks and the geese were [E7]kept therein
He said a [A]couple of you are gonna [D]grease my chin
Be-[A]fore I [E7]leave this [A]town-o
[E7]Town-o, [A]town-o
A [D]couple of you are gonna [A]grease my chin
Be-[E7]fore I leave this [A]town-o [A]
