       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 Am F Am F F
               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.
