[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 a fox on the run

Like a 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, oh yes, and took me for a ride

But like the weary 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 a fox on the run

Like a 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 who put me on the floor

The game is nearly up, the hounds are at my door


[Chorus]

I saw her walk 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

You know 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 her poor boy could give her

And left me to die

Like a fox

(Like the fox) Like a fox

On the run
