The fox went out on a cold cold night
Prayed to the moon to give him light
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 a great big pen
Where ducks ’n geese were kept therein
A couple of you gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o
Said a couple of you gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town-o
He grabbed the grey goose by the neck
Threw a duck across his back
He didn't mind their quack, quack, quack
And the legs all dangling down-o, down-o, down-o
He didn't mind their quack, quack, quack
And legs all dangling down-o
Old Mother Flipper-Flopper jumped out of bed
Out of the window she stuck her head
Crying, "John, John! grey goose is gone
The fox is down on the town-o, town-o, town-o!”
Crying, "John, John, grey goose is gone
Fox is down on the town-o!”
John he ran to the top of the hill
To blow his horn both loud and shrill
Fox said "better flee with my kill
They'll soon be on my trail-o, trail-o, trail-o."
Fox said "better flee with my kill
They'll soon be on my trail-o”
He ran till he came to his cozy den
There were his little ones eight, nine, ten
Crying, “Daddy, daddy better go back again
It must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o!"
Crying, “Daddy, daddy better go back again,
It must be a mighty fine town-o”
Then the fox and the wife without any strife
Cut up the goose with a fork and 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-o

'A Terrific Debut' - FATEA...more
Keening, yearning, captivating and lovely collection of songs, the sense of close performance all the more remarkable when you learn it was made during Covid lockdown in 2020. The ballads and poems set to music on this album might be hundreds of years old, and while they do have an air of immortal, ancient tradition about them, they sound utterly current. Badzie
