       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         C      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       C        G
Wake me from my sleep
[Chorus]
         Bm
She said kiss me

         Am
Lord, I listened, but

  Em                C
I haven't gone back since

         G                  D          C       G
Though I curse the mind for building a proper fence
[Verse 2]
           G            D
Now I will roll, I will suffer

          G                  C
Curse the soil and curse the stones

         G                      D          C      G
Keep my eyes a leaking for that girl does love my bones

G                   D
I've know her for a year

     G              C
Only seen her seven days

    G                D             C   G
One week too many to keep men like me away
[Chorus]
         Bm
She said kiss me

         Am
Lord, I listened

         Em                C
Though I haven't gone back since

         G                  D           C      G
Though I curse the mind for building a proper fence
[Instrumental] G Em G Em C G [Verse 3]
               G                  D
So three years after, I found her doorstep

          G                   C
Found her shoes and found her kin

             G                    D         C          G
They told me old grim reaper done come and turned her in

        G             D
Pouring liquor on the stone

     G                 C
That marks my lost and gone

       G                  D         C      G
I will whimper, wail, and sing her funeral song
