She walks thur 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, then took me for a ride But 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 strange girl she'll put me on the floor The game is nearly over the hounds are at my door
