THE FOX AND THE GOOSE (THE FOX WALKED OUT) Sung by: Mrs. Lon Jones Recorded in Mountain Home, AR, 7/17/52 Click here to listen to the original recording He prayed for the moon to give him light, For he had many miles to travel that night, Before he reached the townee-o, townee-o, townee-o. He had many miles to travel that night Before he reached the townee-o. He went 'til he came to the farmer's yard; The ducks and the geese were all afraid. "The best of you shall grease my beard Before I reach the townee-o, townee-o, townee-o. The best of you shall grease my beard Before I reach the townee-o." He grabbed an old gray goose by the neck, And swung her all across his back. The old gray goose went "Quack, quack, quack!" As he went to the townee-o, townee-o, townee-o. The old gray goose went "Quack, quack, quack!" As he went to the townee-o. Also found in Randolph, Vol. I, #103, "The Fox Walked Out"; Brown Vol. III, #129, "The Fox and the Goose." |
