Bluegrass Songs - Fox on the run

Fox on the run

    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 alright, then took me for a ride
But like the lonely fox I need a place to hide

  * Refrain

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 put me on the floor
The game is nearly up, the hounds are at my poor

  * Refrain
