recorded by George Jones
written by Tony Hazzard
GShe walks through the D7corn leading Amdown to the Criver
Her Amhair shone like D7gold in the Chot morning Gsun
She took all the D7love that a Ampoor boy could Cgive her
And Amleft me to D7die like a Cfox on the Grun
Like a Cfox like a fox like a fox on the runG  
COut here everybody Gknows the D7reason for the Gfall
When Cwoman tempted Gme down in A7paradise hD7all
This Cwoman tempted Gme then she D7took me for a Gride
But Clike a lonely Gfox boys I nD7eed a place to hGide
Repeat #1
CWe'll drink a glass of Gwine boys to D7fortify our Gsouls
We'll Ctalk about the Gworld and fA7riends we used to kD7now
CI see a string of Ggirls who have D7put me on the Gfloor
The Cgame is nearly Gover and the D7hounds are at my Gdoor
