[Chorus]
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, like the fox
on the run.
 
[Verse 1]
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.
 
[Chorus]
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, like the fox
on the run.
 
 
[Chorus]
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, like the fox
on the run.
 
[Verse 2]
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.
 
[End-Chorus]
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, like the fox
on the run.
