She walked thru 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 — on the run
Everybody knows the reason for the fall
When woman tempted man down in paradise’s hall
This woman tempted me, oh yes, she took me for a ride
And like a weary fox, I need a place to hide
She walked thru …
Well, take a glass of wine and fortify your soul
We’ll talk about the world and friends we used to know
I inner straight a girl who puts me on the floor
The game is nearly up, the hounds are at my dooor
She walked thru …
She walked thru 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
Like a fox — like a fox — on the run
