[A] All the folks went out on a chilly night And he ran for the moon to give them light
For he'd many a mile to go that night Before he reached the town, oh, town, oh,
town [Dm] Oh, he'd many a mile to go [D] that night
Before [A] he reached the town, oh
Peter and Telly came to the farm of Ben The [F#] dogs and the geese had kept their pen
He said, if [F#m] I'm gonna do, I'm gonna grace my tin
Before I [A] leave this town, oh, town, oh, town, oh
Oh, you're out of grease, [F#] my tin Before I leave this town, oh

He grabbed a great goose by the neck And he threw [E] it off across his back
And he [D] didn't mind the quack, [E] quack, quack And the legs all dangling down, oh, down, oh,
[D] down, oh He didn't mind the quack, quack, quack
And the legs all [A] dangling down, oh
Oh, Mother of a lover, just a bitch She ran to the [E] window and she popped out
[A] Her head crying, John, John, John The great goose is gone, [E] the fox is on the
town, oh, town, oh, [A] town, oh, down, oh

And I'm on the [D] pavement And digging with the government
The man in the trench Quoted a badge off, laid off
And says he has a bad cough And wants to get it paid off
And, yeah, so [E] he did He's got no mean

Looking for a new friend Man in a coon's team
Got on a big pen And wants to love another person
You only [Am] got ten
