Lyrics
Just a mile (just a mile) down the road (down the road) And a street or two away Lives that freckled misses that I want most every day To the home (to the home) of her father (of her father) I'm gonna drag my sore old feet Tell him she's the woman who can wake me from my sleep She said, "Kiss me" Lord I listened But I haven't gone back since Oh, you know I curse the mind for building proper fence Yeah, I will roll and I will suffer Curse the soil and curse the stones Keep my eyes a-leakin' for that girl who does love my bones I've known (I've known) her for a year Only seen her seven days One week, too many to keep a man like me away She said, "Kiss me" Lord I listened You know I haven't gone back since You know I curse the mind for building proper fence So three years after Found her doorstep Found her shoes and found her kin They told me old Grim Reaper Done come and turned her in Pourin' liquor (pourin' liquor) on the stone That, that marks my lost and gone I will whimper and wail And sing her funeral song
