Daddy Foxy went out one chilly night
He prayed to the moon for to give him light
For he'd many, many miles to go that night
Before he came to his den-o
Den-o
He'd many, many miles to go that
night Before he came to his den-o
So he grabbed a grey goose by the neck
And he throwed a duck all across his back
And he did not quivek,
quivek,
quack Nor the legs all a-dangling down-o
Down-o
Down-o Down-o
He did not then quivek,
quivek,
quack Nor the legs all a-dangling down-o
Then old Mother Twiddle-Twaddle jumped out of bed
And out of the window she stuck a little lad Cryin'
O John O, now the grey goose is dead
And the fox is away to his den-o Den-o Den-o
So John then he rode up to the top of
the hill He ploughed his little lawn,
both loud and shrill
Play on,
say,
the rain-o with your music still While I trot away to me den-o Den-o
Then old Daddy Fox and his cubs and his
wife They cut up the goose without any knife
Sayin' I've never,
ever had such a supper in me life And the cubs they can
pick on the bones-o Bones-o Bones-o Sayin' I've never,
ever had such a supper in me life And
the cubs they can pick on the bones-o
