Fox On The Run

Lyrics: Tony Hazzard
Music: Tony Hazzard

Played by the Healy-Treece Band in the early 1980s with Bill Kreutzmann on drums. Also recorded by Kingfish with Bob Weir on acoustic guitar.

She walked through the corn leading down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun
She took all the love that this 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

Well everybody knows the reason for the fall
When woman tempted man down in paradise's hall
This woman tempted me, then she took me for a ride
But like the lonely fox I need a place to hide

She walked through the corn leading down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun
She took all the love that this 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

Come take a glass of wine and fortify your soul
We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know
I see a string of girls who put me on the floor
The game is nearly up, the hounds are at my door

She walked through the corn leading down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun
She took all the love that this 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
