The Mysterious Fox Of Fox Hollow - Tom T. Hall

The mysterious fox of Fox Hollow

He doesn’t have many friends

He hides in the forest behind a big rock

He sniffs with his nose in the wind.

And you’ll never see him there’s no need to look

He’ll hide in the grass or he’ll hide in the bush

Sometimes he will run and jump over the log

For he is afraid of your dog (uh huh.)

The mysterious fox of Fox Hollow

He plays with a foxy old bunch

He comes out at night to steal chickens

And someday he might eat your lunch.

And you’ll never see him there’s no need to look

He’ll hide in the grass or he’ll hide in the bush

Sometimes he will run and jump over the log

For he is afraid of your dog (uh huh.)

The mysterious fox of Fox Hollow

You ask me how I know

Though I never have seen him one day on the barn

I saw his tracks in the snow (four of them.)

And you’ll never see him there’s no need to look

He’ll hide in the grass or he’ll hide in the bush

Sometimes he will run and jump over the log

For he is afraid of your dog (uh huh…)
