The moon was up, and bright as DAY,
The stars they winked 10 IhciI quje; way
When the Kirderhcol Fox was chased by :


Coon,


As the west wind whiSled This bran new tune
Get out Of the way, you're quite too late


You liIlle Re Fox Of The Empire State.
The Fox had hoped that the BrcKETE BoYs
Would beat Off the Coon with numbering noise
But his heart grew sad, and his for few of,
As he heard, willie he hiccupPed a church-yarc


cough,


Get out ofthe way &c.
Over the line 10 old PESNSYLTvcK,
The Fox thought he'd go in search Of luck;
But the cry went up, "we don't want you here,
And they sung, as there droPt from his eye tear,
Get out of the way, &c.
So on he went 10 the old NORTH STATE,
With the hope t.at 'OLD RIP wouid avert his
But when be got there he lost his :ai.
And the Coon boys sung, as he "cut" with vail
Get ou. Of the way, sc.
The taiIless Fox then wentto TENNESSEE,
To beg a Iittle help from Old Hick-o-reei
Bat he heard, as he went, 4 loud shout for Jones'
And The song, as he scampered to save his bones
Get out of the way, &c.
Breathless with fear, and without tail.
The sight of Coon-shin made him quail
He Jumped like thief TO ''cut-dirt" tune,
And heard, while he yelled like frightened


loon,


Get out of the way, sc.
On he leaped, with a limping gait,
And took his way through MARYLAND STATE.
But it followed him there like hue and cry,
That terrible sound which he could not fly,


Get cut Of the way, &c.
Wearied and worn, and chased by the 'CoonI'
His head became bald as shaved boboon;
When he reached Underwood he sighed "Fm


unlucky;


For the people alIlSing, as they shout kentucky,
Get out ofthe way, &c.
80 the Fox lay down, and his voice got wheezy,
His face grew pale, and his stomach uneasy;
He heaved, he kicked, and cried I'm lost,
And the night-wnd moaned, as he gave up the


ghost,


The little Red Fox is quite unlucky,


For the people are going for Old Kentucky
