Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just a mile down the road and a street or two away
Lives that freckled missus that I want most every day
Out to the home of her father
Gonna drag my sore old feet
Tell him she's the woman who can wake me from my sleep
[Verse 2]
She said, "Kiss me"
Lord, I listened
But I haven't gone back since
Oh, you know I cursed the mind for building a proper fence
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I will roll and I will suffer
I'll curse the soil and curse the stones
Keep my eyes leaking for that girl
Who does love my bones
[Verse 4]
I've known her for a year
Only seen her seven days
One week too many to keep a man like me away
[Verse 5]
She said, "Kiss me"
And, Lord, I listened
You know I haven't gone back since
You know I cursed the mind for building a proper fence
[Verse 6]
So three years after
Found her doorstep
Found her shoes and found her kin
But they told me, "The old Grim Reaper
Done come and turned her in"
[Verse 7]
Pouring liquor on the stone
That marks my lost and gone
I will whimper and wail
And sing her funeral song
