She walks through the corn leading down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the morning sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left him to die like a fox on the run
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run

Everybody knows that the reason for the fall
When woman tempted man down in paradise's hall
This woman tempted him and took him for a ride
And like the lonely fox for he needs a place to hide

She walks through the corn leading down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the morning sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left him to die like a fox on the run
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run

We'll drink a glass of wine but to fortify our soul
We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know
I see a stream of girls, who'll 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 morning sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left him to die like a fox on the run
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run
