She walks through the corn leadin’ 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, the hounds are at my door
