Red Fox Lyrics - The Seer - Big Country

Coming out into the day and all that I can see 

Is the red and white of the King's army 

I'll meet with them among the pine 

I'll meet with them by noon 

The dirge will sound on the morrow's noon 

I was not born into this time 

To cleave the soil or work the mine 

I came to claim my enemy 

And be the fox's destiny 

I follow on in silence with a quiet heart in fear 

I will be done before the dawn if I'm found here 

I stand up as he passes and the time has come at last 

The prey goes down at the metals crash 

I was not born into this time 

To cleave the soil or work the mine 

I came to claim my enemy 

And be the fox's destiny 

Kidnapped in the dead of night 

I did no wrong, I will not fight 

It was not me, I will not run 

But I believe in what was done 

John, John, there's something wrong 

The guns are found and the fox is gone 

John, John, before too long 

It will be me they hang it on 

So send me off to the colony shore 

Or send me where I'll laugh no more 

I will tell none of what I know 

Let the hunter walk where need must go 

John, John, there's something wrong 

The guns are found and the fox is gone 

John, John, before too long 

It will be me they hang it on 

I will tell none of what I know 

Let the hunter walk where need must go 

John, John, before too long 

It will be me they hang this on
