G D
Just a mile down the road
G C
And a street or two away
G
There's that freckled missus that I
D G
want most every day
G D
Out to the home of her father
G C
I'm gonna drag my sore old feet
G
Tell him she's the woman who can
D G
Wake me from my sleep
Bm
She said kiss me
Am
Lord, I listened, but
Bm C
I haven't gone back since
G D G
Though I curse the mind for building a proper fence
G D
Now I will roll, I will suffer
G C
Curse the soil and curse the stones
G D G
My eyes will be fixed on that girl with the stubborn voice
G D
I've know her for a year
G C
Only seen her seven days
G D G
One week too many to keep men like me away
Bm
She said kiss me
Am
Lord, I listened
Bm C
Though I haven't gone back since
G D G
Though I curse the mind for building a proper fence
G Em
G Em

G D
So three years after, I found her doorstep
G C
Found her shoes and found her kin
G D G
They told me old grim reaper done gone and turned her in
G D
Pouring liquor on the stone
G C
That marks my lost and gone
G D G
I will whimper, wail, and sing a funeral song
