Big Country - Red Fox Lyrics
Coming out into the day and all that I can seeIs the red and white of the King's armyI'll meet with them among the pineI'll meet with them by noonThe dirge will sound on the morrow's noonI was not born into this timeTo cleave the soil or work the mineI came to claim my enemyAnd be the fox's destinyI follow on in silence with a quiet heart in fearI will be done before the dawn if I'm found hereI stand up as he passes and the time has come at lastThe prey goes down at the metals crashI was not born into this timeTo cleave the soil or work the mineI came to claim my enemyAnd be the fox's destinyKidnapped in the dead of nightI did no wrong, I will not fightIt was not me, I will not runBut I believe in what was doneJohn, John, there's something wrongThe guns are found and the fox is goneJohn, John, before too longIt will be me they hang it onSo send me off to the colony shoreOr send me where I'll laugh no moreI will tell none of what I knowLet the hunter walk where need must goJohn, John, there's something wrongThe guns are found and the fox is goneJohn, John, before too longIt will be me they hang it onI will tell none of what I knowLet the hunter walk where need must goJohn, John, before too longIt will be me they hang this on
