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 run      Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run      Everybody 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 hide      Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run      Come take a glass 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 door      Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run
