She walked through the corn leading 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 the fox on the runLike the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the runEverybody knows the reason for the fall When woman tempted man down in paradise's hall This woman tempted me all right, then took me for a ride
But like the lonely fox I need a place to hideLike the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the runCome take a gla** of wine and fortify your soul We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know I'll illustrate, a girl put me on the floor The game is nearly up, the hounds are at my doorLike the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run
