The Ozark Mountain Daredevils - The Fox lyrics

(PIANO & GUITAR INTRO) The rain let up when the sun went down I was livin' in a sad old story The moon didn't shine but the train was on time And the fox looked down on the glory The fox looked down on the glory The mare went lame and the fox got blame There were tracks leadin' down from the trestle Then someone said that the fox was dead But no one spoke of the devil No one spoke of the devil (GUITAR & HARP STUFF w/cool ba** line) The winter turned spring the valley turned green The fox burned red in the sunrise The hawk got shot the thief got caught And the fox stood still on the hillside The fox stood still on the hillside Then you broke up and I broke down We're all in the soul of the stranger And I know now what you knew then The fox just laughed at the danger The fox just laughed at the danger (KEYBOARD & HARP STUFF) Lyrics are copyright 1977, Steve Cash
