Melissa |
Crossroads, seems to come and go |
The gypsy flies from coast to coast |
Knowing many loving none |
Bearin' sorrow havin' fun |
But back home he’ll always run |
For sweet Melissa |
Freight train, each car looks the same |
No one knows the gypsy’s name |
No one hears his lonely sighs |
There are no blankets where he lies |
Though in his deepest dreams the gypsy flies |
To sweet Melissa |
Again the mornin' comes |
Again he’s on the run |
Sun beams shinin' through his hair |
Appearin' not to have a care |
So pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on. |
Crossroads, will you ever let him go? |
(Lord, Lord) |
Will you hide the dead man’s ghost? |
Lord will he lie, beneath the plain? |
Will his spirit fall away? |
But I know that he won’t stay without Melissa |
Yes I know that he won’t stay without Melissa |
(That's how the story ends.) |
