Shakey Graves – Proper Fence lyrics
[Intro]
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
I'm gonna drag my sore old feet
Tell him shes the woman who can wake me from my sleep
[Verse 1]
Well she said kiss me
And lord I listened
But I haven't gone back since
I curse the mind for building proper fence
[Verse 2]
So I will roll and I will suffer
Curse the soil and curse the stones
Keep my eyes a leaking' for that girl does love my bones
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Well she said kiss me
And lord I listened
But I haven't gone back since
I curse the mind for building proper fence
[Verse 4]
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
[Outro]
Pouring' liquor on the stone
That marks my lost and gone
Well I will whimper and wail
And sing her funeral song
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
I'm gonna drag my sore old feet
Tell him shes the woman who can wake me from my sleep
[Verse 1]
Well she said kiss me
And lord I listened
But I haven't gone back since
I curse the mind for building proper fence
[Verse 2]
So I will roll and I will suffer
Curse the soil and curse the stones
Keep my eyes a leaking' for that girl does love my bones
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Well she said kiss me
And lord I listened
But I haven't gone back since
I curse the mind for building proper fence
[Verse 4]
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
[Outro]
Pouring' liquor on the stone
That marks my lost and gone
Well I will whimper and wail
And sing her funeral song
