Verse 1
Old Daddy Reynolds jumped out of the wood,
Upon his hind legs he boldly stood,
Saying - 'A little fresh meat for to do me good,'
And away he went to the town o.
The town o, the town o
And away he went to the town o.
Verse 2
Old Daddy Reynolds got to the park gate,
Where he'd often been both early and late;
It made his poor heart to shiver and shake,
When he heard the cry of the hounds o,
The hounds o, the hounds o,
When he heard the cry of the hounds o.
Verse 3
Old Mother Prittle Prattle jumped out of bed,
And out of the window she tucked her old grey head -
'Oh husband, o husband, the grey goose is dead,
And the fox is gone through the town o,
The town o, the town o,
And the fox is gone through the town o.'
Verse 4
The up jumped the old man with heart and good will,
Blowing his horn both loud and shrill;
Says old Daddy Reynolds - 'Catch me if you will,
For I'm glad I'm safe through the town o,
The town o, the town o
For I'm glad I'm safe through the town o.'
Verse 5
The old Daddy Reynolds got back to his den
Where there were young ones, eight, nine, or ten;
Saying - 'Daddy, oh Daddy, I wish you'd go again,
For I think it's a lucky little town o,
Town o, town o
For I think it's a lucky little town o.'
Verse 6
Old Daddy Reynolds and his old wife,
Never eat a bit of mustard all the days of their life;
They picked the goose's bones without fork or knife,
And the meat it went merrily down, o.
Down o, down o,
And the meat it went merrily down, o.
