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 man could give her

And left him to die like a fox on the run

Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox

On the run

Now everybody knows the reason for the fall

When woman tempted me down in paradise's hall

This woman tempted me and she took me for a ride

And like the weary fox, I need a place to hide

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 man could give her

And left him to die like a fox on the run

Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox

On the run

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 wandered through my past

She didn't care to stay, the picture cannot last

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 man could give her

And left him to die like a fox on the run

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 man could give her

And left him to die like a fox on the run
