Chorus) 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 gla** 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 (repeat chorus)
