  • This song was written by Tony Hazzard, and originally recorded by Manfred Mann, as a rock song, in 1969. It has become a standard in Bluegrass music since The Country Gentlemen made this recording (from the album, "The Country Gentlemen Sound Off"), in 1970. Enjoy!

    She walks through the corn leadin' down to the river
    Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' 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 on the run
    Now everybody knows the reason for my fall
    A woman tempted me down in paradise hall
    This woman tempted me and she took me for a ride
    Like a lonely fox, boys, I need a place to hide
    Oh, we'll drink a glass of wine, boys, to purify our soul
    We'll talk about the world and the friends we used to know
    I see a string of girls who have put me on before
    The game is nearly over and the hounds are at the door
