Fox on the Run
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She walks through the corn leadin' down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' 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.
Now everybody knows the reason for my fall
A woman tempted me down in Paradise Hall
This woman tempted me and she took me for a ride
I'm like a lonely fox cause I need a place to hide.
She walks through the corn leadin' down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' 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.
--- Instrumental ---
Oh, we'll drink a glass of wine boys to fortify our souls
We'll talk about the world and the friends we used to know
I see a string of girls who had put me on before
The game is nearly over and the hounds're at the door.
She walks through the corn leadin' down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' 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...
