[Verse 1]
DOh, the fox travelled out one moonshiney night,
Prayed that the Amoon might shine very bright,
AFor he had a long journey to go that night
BeDfore he could get to the town-o,
ATown-o, Dtown-o,
DHe had a long journey to go that night
DBefore he could get to the town-o.
[Verse 2]
DOh, the fox ran along 'til he came to a farm,
And there he found Aducks and geese in alarm;
Said, the Dfattest of you all is gonna grease my back
DBefore I leave this town-o,
DTown-o, town-o,
DThe fattest of you all is gonna grease my back
DBefore I leave this town-o.
[Verse 3]
DWell, old Mrs. Flipper-Flopper jumped out of bed,
DAnd out of the window she poked her long head,
Saying, jump up John, the gray goose Emis gone,
And the Dfox will soon be out of the town-o,
DTown-o, town-o,
Jump up John, the gray goose Emis gone,
And the Dfox will soon be out of the town-o.
[Verse 4]
DSo John took his gun and ran to the hill,
·            A  
And there he blowed it loud and shrill;
AYou may blow, said the fox, it is good music still,
But DI will soon be out of the town-o,
DTown-o, town-o,
DBlow, said the fox, it is good music still,
DBut I will soon be out of the town-o.
[Verse 5]
DWell the fox ran along 'til he came to his den,
And there he found young ones Anine or ten.
Oh, lawsy Dmassa daddy, you had better go again,
DFor we think you had a lucky journey,
DJourney, journey,
DLawsy massa daddy, you had better go again,
DWe think you had a lucky journey.

[Verse 1]

Oh, the fox travelled out one moonshiney night,

Prayed that the moon might shine very bright,

For he had a long journey to go that night

Before he could get to the town-o,

A D

Town-o, town-o,

He had a long journey to go that night

Before he could get to the town-o.

[Verse 2]

Oh, the fox ran along 'til he came to a farm,

And there he found ducks and geese in alarm;

Said, the fattest of you all is gonna grease my back

Before I leave this town-o,

Town-o, town-o,

The fattest of you all is gonna grease my back

Before I leave this town-o.

[Verse 3]

Well, old Mrs. Flipper-Flopper jumped out of bed,

And out of the window she poked her long head,

Saying, jump up John, the gray goose is gone,

And the fox will soon be out of the town-o,

Town-o, town-o,

Jump up John, the gray goose is gone,

And the fox will soon be out of the town-o.

[Verse 4]

So John took his gun and ran to the hill,

And there he blowed it loud and shrill;

You may blow, said the fox, it is good music still,

But I will soon be out of the town-o,

Town-o, town-o,

Blow, said the fox, it is good music still,

But I will soon be out of the town-o.

[Verse 5]

Well the fox ran along 'til he came to his den,

And there he found young ones nine or ten.

Oh, lawsy massa daddy, you had better go again,

For we think you had a lucky journey,

Journey, journey,

Lawsy massa daddy, you had better go again,

We think you had a lucky journey.
