[Verse 1]
Must fix the fence by the acre plot
Two young foxes have been nosing around
The lambs and the chickens won't feel safe
Until it's done

[Verse 2]
I must dig a drain by the carrot patch
The whole crop spoils if it gets too damp
And where will we be with an empty store
When winter comes?

[Chorus]
When winter comes and food is scarce
We'll warn our toes to stay indoors
When summer's gone, we'll fly away
And find the sun when winter comes

[Verse 3]
I must find the time to plant some trees
In thе meadow where thе river flows
In time to come, they'll make good shade
For some poor soul

[Chorus]
When winter comes and food is scarce
We'll warn our toes to stay indoors
When summer's gone, we're gonna fly away
And find the sun when winter comes
[Verse 1]
Must fix the fence by the acre plot
Two young foxes have been nosin' around
And the lambs and the chickens won't feel safe
Until it's done

[Chorus]
When winter comes and food is scarce
We'll warn our toes to stay indoors
When summer's gone, we're gonna fly away
And find the sun when winter comes

[Outro]
And find the sun when winter comes
