Crossroads
Seem to come and go
Yeah
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
Knowing many loving none
Bearing sorrow
Having fun
But back home he'll always run
To sweet Melissa
Mmmm hmmm
Freight train
Each car looks the same
All the same
And no one knows the gypsy's name
And no one hears his lonely sighs
There are no blankets where he lies
Lord in his deepest dreams the gypsy flies
With sweet Melissa
Mmmm hmmm
Again the mornin's come
Again he's on the run
A sunbeam's shinin' through his hair
Fear not to have a care
Well pick up your gear and gypsy roll on
Roll on
Crossroads
Will you ever let him go
Lord Lord
Or will you hide the dead man's ghost
Or will he lie
Beneath the clay
Or will his spirit float away
But I know that he won't stay
Without Melissa
Yes I know that he won't stay yeah
Without Melissa
Lord Lord
It's all the same
Mmmmm hmmmmm
