Keep, keep, keep, keep, keep.
Keep, keep, keep, keep, keep.
Tomorrow the fox will come to town
Tomorrow the fox will come to town

And cry as loud as you can call,
And cry as loud as you can call,
Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
O keep you all well there.  
O keep you all well there.


He'll steal the cock out from the flock.

Keep, keep, keep, keep, keep.
Keep, keep, keep, keep, keep.
He'll steal the cock even from his flock

O keep you all well there.  
O keep you all well there.
I must desire you…
I must desire you…

Keep, keep, keep, keep, keep.
He'll steal the lamb even from his dam
He'll steal the lamb even from his dam
To keep you all well there.  
To keep you all well there.

Tomorrow the fox will come to town.
Keep, keep, keep, keep, keep.
Tomorrow the fox will come to town
To keep you all well there.

I must desire you neighbours all,
To holler the fox above them all,
And cry as loud as you can call,
Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
O keep you all well there.

He'll steal the cock out from the flock.
Keep, keep, keep, keep, keep.
He'll steal the cock even from his flock
O keep you all well there.
I must desire you…

He'll steal the hen out of the pen.
Keep, keep, keep, keep, keep.
He'll steal the hen out of the pen
O keep you all well there.
I must desire you…

He'll steal the duck out of the brook.
Keep, keep, keep, keep, keep.
He'll steal the ducky out of the brook,
To keep you all well there.
I must desire you…

He'll steal the lamb even from his dam.
Keep, keep, keep, keep, keep.
He'll steal the lamb even from his dam
To keep you all well there.
I must desire you…
