Fox On The Run, The Good Brothers [PREFACE: Bluegrass, circa end-1970's. Tenor banjo, guitar, fiddle, mandolin, et al. Instrumental beginning. Sing with nasal, bluegrass cry/twang.} 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 this poor boy could give her, And left me to die like a Fox On The Run! {Band harmonizes here; 1st line in 3 pitches} Like a Fox, Like a Fox, Like a Fox... On The Run! 1: Well, everybody knows the reason for the fall; When a woman tempted man in Paradise's Hall! Now, this woman tempted me and took her for a ride; Like a lonely Fo-ox, I need a place to hide! 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 the poor boy could give her, And left me to die like a Fox On The Run! {Band harmonizes here; 1st line in 3 pitches} Like a Fox, Like a Fox, Like a Fox... On The Run! 2: Now, lift a glass of wi-ine to fortify our souls; And talk about the weather and the friends we used to know. Now, I've seen strange girls that'll put you on the floor; And the game is nearly over; the hounds are at my door! 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 the poor boy could give her, And left me to die like a Fox On The Run! {Band harmonizes here; 1st line in 3 pitches} Like a Fox, Like a Fox, Like a Fox... On The Run! {Into extended instrumental, then} {Band harmonizes here; 1st line in 3 pitches} Like a Fox, Like a Fox, Like a Fox... On The Run! {wait...} Like a Fox, Like a Fox, Like a Fox... On The Run! {True End}
