Tom T. Hall - Fox On The Run lyrics

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, like a fox, 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 like a lonely fox, boys
I need a place to hide

Oh, we'll drink a glass of wine, boys
To purify our soul
We'll talk about the world and the
Friends we used to know
I see a string of girls who
Have put me on before
The game is nearly over and the
Hounds are at the door
