shakey graves - proper fence lyrics
just a mile down the road
and a street or two away
there’s that freckled
misses that i want
most every day
and to the home of her father
gonna drag my sore old feet
tell him, “shes the woman
can wake me from my sleep”
[chorus]
she said, “kiss me”
lord, i listened, but i haven’t gone back since
oh, you know i curse the mind
for building a proper fence
yeah, i will roll
and i will suffer
curse the soil and curse the stones
keep my eyes a peekin’
for that girl
and the rest of her bones
i’ve known her for a year
only seen her seven days
one week two many
too keep a man like me away
[chorus]
so three years after, i found her doorstep
i found her shoes, and found her kin
they told me, “old grim reaper
done come turned her in”
pourin’ liquor on the stone
that marks my lost and gone
i will whippor wail
and sing her funeral song
