Tune of the Day: The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night

Traditional English folk song

The earliest incarnation of this well-loved folk song was as a Middle English poem, dating all the way back to the 15th century. And although the language of that poem may now sound archaic, it is interesting to see that the story has barely changed throughout its retelling: it is the story of a father fox going to town to grab a goose for the family's dinner. To the family's great delight, he comes back with a feast for them all.

Thanks to Sarah for suggesting this tune!
