Fox On The Run Lyrics

Manfred Mann Fox On The Run

She walked thru 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 a fox on the run
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, she took me for a ride
And like a weary fox, I need a place to hide

She walked thru ...

Well, take a glass of wine and fortify your soul
We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know
I inner straight a girl who puts me on the floor
The game is nearly up, the hounds are at my dooor

She walked thru ...

She walked thru 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 a fox
Like a fox - like a fox - on the run
