She walks through the corn leadin' down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun
She took all the love that 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
Now everybody knows the reason for my fall
A woman tempted me down in paradise hall
This woman tempted me, and she took me for a ride
Like a lonely fox, boys, I need a place to hide
She walks through the corn leadin' down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning 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
♪
Oh, we'll drink a glass of wine, boys, to purify our soul
We'll talk about the world and the friends we used to know
I see a string of girls who have put me on before
The game is nearly over and the hounds are at the door
She walks through the corn leadin' down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun
Oh, she took all the love that 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
