DADDY FOX 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 I have located the words I was after - as was Mudcatter Steve Parkes in 1999 ... they were supplied me by Tony Suttor of Darwin, Australia. He sang a great version of this, along with Paul Lawler and Sharon Mannix in the a cappella harmony trio CHAMELEON, from Darwin in the late 70's/early 80's. I'm unsure whether the (English) Ripley Wayfarers actually combined The Carrion Crow and the usual "Fox went out on a chilly night" songs to create this top little number, or if it is from "the Tradition" ... @animal @fox filename[ FOXOUT6 RJB Feb07 |
