You can hound me now you've found me
But I'm far more cunning than you
I'm a shy fox, I'm a sly fox
And I'll teach you a lesson or two
I'll run you through the hawthorn hedge
And tear your dogs to shreds
I'll lead you from the open fields
Into the flower beds
I'll lead you from the open fields
Into the nearest town
And take you to my hunting ground

Run, run, I won't give in
Run, run, I'll never give in
Run, run, run, I won't give in
Run, run, run, I'll never give in

You can hound me now you've found me
But I'm far more cunning than you
I'm a brown fox, I'm a town fox
And I'll teach you a lesson or two
I'll introduce electric fence
To every horse and hound
And watch the horses suffering
Upon the stoney ground
I'll lead you from the open fields
Into the nearest town
And take you to my hunting ground

Run, run, I won't give in
Run, run, I'll never give in
Run, run, run, I won't give in
Run, run, run, I'll never give in

You can hound me now you've found me
But I'm far more cunning than you
I'm a shy fox, I'm a sly fox
And I'll teach you a lesson or two
I'll run you through the hawthorn hedge
And tear your dogs to shreds
I'll lead you from the open fields
Into the flower beds
I'll lead you from the open fields
Into the nearest town
And take you to my hunting ground

Run, run, I won't give in
Run, run, I'll never give in
Run, run, run, I won't give in
Run, run, run, I'll never give in
