Lyrics

She walks 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 a fox on the run Like a fox, 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's hall This woman tempted me, and took me for a ride Like the lonely fox, I need a place to hide We'll pour a glass of wine, to fortify our soul We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know I see a string of girls, who'll put me on the floor The game is nearly over and the hounds are at my door
