The Fox

Let me tell you about a bold and brave man
he no doubt took the Fatherland by storm
his mighty Afrika Corps never broke form
North Africa The Desert Fox made his stand

chorus

the Fox could never be caught
guts and glory is what he sought
The Field Marshall was loyal to the end
his honor we must defend

He was the Fuhrers favorite general
outwitted Mongomery at every turn
the Flak 88 made British armor burn
from Tripoli to Tobruk the Panzers roll

chorus

short on supplies victory after victory was won
in retreat this mans brilliance was shown
at Kasserine pass allied advance was blown
he fell ill before the job could be done

chorus

fought valiantly in the Normandy attack
now critically wounded in an air raid
falsely accused as traitor the ultimate price was paid
Speidel and Stauffenberg courage they lack

chorus

he's forever linked to the yellow stain
scam implicating for post war power
Field Marshall Rommel would never betray at zero hour
this man was loyal no matter the pride and pain

chorus(2)
