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

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

A quick attempt. Not entirely sure about the Am or the "eyes will be fixed" bit, but it
should be accurate besides that. Have fun.
