Music Across the Water - Daddy Fox

Daddy Fox got up on a winter's night
And he prayed for the moon to give him light
For he'd many, many miles to go that night
Before he reached the town-O

He took the gray goose by the neck
And he put the duck across his back
And heeded not that quippy, quippy quack
The legs all a-danglin' down-O

Then old mother flipper flapper jumped out of bed
And out of the window she put her little head
Saying, John, John, the gray goose is gone
The fox he's away to his den-O

Then John ran up to the top of the hill
And he blew his horn loud and shrill
Play on, says Reynard, with your music still
While I get a-way to me den-O

He took the grey goose back to his wife
And they cut it up with-out any knife
And they never had such a supper in their life!
The little ones chewed on the bones-O

Daddy Fox got up on a winter's night
And he prayed for the moon to give him light
For he'd many, many miles to go that night
Before he reached the town-O
