She walks through the corn leading down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like a fox on the run
Like a fox, (like a fox, like a fox) on the run
Out here everybody knows the reason for the fall
When woman tempted me down in paradise hall
This woman tempted me then she took me for a ride
But like a lonely fox, boys I need a place to hide
(repeat chorus)
We'll drink a glass of wine boys to fortify our souls
We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know
I see a string of girls who have put me on the floor
The game is nearly over and the hounds are at my door
Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like a fox on the run
Like a fox, (like a fox, like a fox) on the run
Out here everybody knows the reason for the fall
When woman tempted me down in paradise hall
This woman tempted me then she took me for a ride
But like a lonely fox, boys I need a place to hide
(repeat chorus)
We'll drink a glass of wine boys to fortify our souls
We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know
I see a string of girls who have put me on the floor
The game is nearly over and the hounds are at my door
