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 (chorus) Oh, well drink a glass of wine, boys, to purify our soul Well 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
