Fox On The Run

Manfred Mann · Mannerisms [2007]

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 her 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 on the run



Everybody knows the reason for the barn

When woman kept denying down this paradise as home

This woman temted me oh yeah and took me for a ride

And like a weary 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 her 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 on the run



Oh take a glass of wine and fortify your soul

We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know

I'm illustrated girl you put me on the floor

The game is nearly up the hounds are at my door



I saw her walk through the corn leading down to the river

Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun

She took all the love that her poor boy could give her

And left me to die like a fox on the run



You know 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 her poor boy could give her

And left me to die

Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run
