Manfred Mann - Fox On The Run lyrics

She walked 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, 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, oh yes
And took me for a ride like a weary fox
I need a place to hide

She walked 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, like a fox like a fox on the run

Well, take a glass of wine
And fortify your soul
We'll talk about the world
And friends we used to know
I'm illustrate a girl
Who put me on the floor
The game is nearly up
The hounds are at my door

I saw her walk 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

You know she walked 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, like a fox
Like a fox on the run
