Box the Fox
"Box the Fox" (sometimes just "Box Fox") is a tune of Appalachian origin,[citation needed] usually played on the fiddle[1][2] or banjo.[3] The song is played in 6-6 time.[3] The name comes from the old Irish slang "to box the fox", meaning to steal apples or, in general, to rob an orchard.[1]
