       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                  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
