fox on the run

she walks through the corn leadin' 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

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

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
