Manfred Mann - Fox On The Rum lyrics

She walks thur 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 (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, then took me for a ride But like the lonely fox I need a place to hide We'll pour a gla** of wine to fortify our soul We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know I see a strange girl she'll put me on the floor The game is nearly over the hounds are at my door
