Nancy Kerr 2010
Written mostly while in Australia, Kerr initially was intending to sing it herself but upon hearing it in James Fagan's voice she begrudgingly acknowledged it worked well as a "James song"

Chorus:
I am the fox and I’ll tell you true
What your hounds do think of me and I of you
When lavish scraps fall no longer from your knee
He will slip his rope and we will brothers be
You masters all in fine sheets at night
Dreaming of your dinners rich and pennies bright
When you awake, raging naked to the air
You will find your coffers stripped and cupboards bare
Then comes a day when the trumpet sounds
And the hunter hears no howl from fox or hound
Then he who owns every army in the land
Will have to go with bowl a-begging in his hand
On yonder vale where the snow lies bare
Winter winds will hide our scent from hart and hare
Then fox and hound, bound no more by slavery
Will bare their fangs and bite the hand of poverty
