Lyrics
She walks 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 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, and took me for a ride
Like the lonely fox, I need a place to hide
We'll pour a glass of wine, to fortify our soul
We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know
I see a string of girls, who'll put me on the floor
The game is nearly over and the hounds are at my doorDemo Videos
About This Song
Fox on the Run is a high-energy bluegrass standard popularized by The Country Gentlemen in the 1960s and later covered by countless bands. Written by Tony Hazzard, it became a bluegrass jam favorite thanks to its driving rhythm and singable melody.
