Proper Fence |
| Just a mile down the road and a street or two away |
| Lives that freckled misses that I want most every day |
| To the home of her father |
| Im gonna drag my sore ol' feet |
| Tell him shes the woman who can wake me from my sleep |
| Well she said kiss me |
| And lord I listened |
| But I haven’t gone back since |
| I curse the mind for building proper fence |
| So I will roll and I will suffer |
| Curse the soil and curse the stones |
| Keep my eyes a leakin' for that girl does love my bones |
| Well I’ve known her for a year |
| I’ve only seen her seven days |
| One week to many to keep a man like me away |
| Well she said kiss me |
| And lord I listened |
| But I haven’t gone back since |
| 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 on the stone |
| That marks my lost and gone |
| Well I will whimper and wail |
| And sing her funeral song |
