Fox On The Run

Tony Hazzard

She 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 the fox on the run
        Like the fox, like the fox, like the fox, like the 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
And like the lonely fox I need a place to hide

* Refrain

We'll pour a glass of wine to fortify our souls
We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know
I see a string of girls, who put me on the floor
The game is nearly over, the hounds are at my door

* Refrain
