paroles de chanson Proper Fence - Shakey Graves

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
