Daddy Fox

There are various versions of this song that are suitable for several nations. This first acapella version (Daddy Fox, Muldoon' Picnic) would be great for The Marches or Dawn whereas this version (The Fox, Nickel Creek) would be more suited to The League or The Brass Coast perhaps.

Marches/Dawn version

1. Daddy Fox went out on a chilly night

With a ring tong dilly dong kyro me

Prayed for the moon to give him light

With a ring tong dilly dong kyro me.

Cho: Hey fa la lee, fa la la, fa la lero Hey fa la lero lero lee

Up jumped John, ringin' on his bell With a ring tong dilly dong kyro me.

2. He ran till he came to a cozy pen The ducks and geese were kept therein

3. He grabbed the grey goose by the neck Up with the little ones over his back

4. Old Mother Flipper-Flopper jumped out of bed Out of the window she stuck her little head

5. John ran up to the top of the hill Blew his little horn both loud and shrill

6. The fox he ran to his cozy den There were the little ones 8, 9, 10

7. Then the fox and his wife without any strife Cut up the goose with a carving knife
