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 Everybody knows the reason for the fall When woman tempted man down in paradise hall This woman tempted me alright then took me for a ride But like a lonely fox, boys I need a place to hide 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 Come 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 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
