Allman Brothers Band - Melissa lyrics

Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.<br>The gypsy flies from coast to coast<br><br>Knowing many, loving none,<br>Bearing sorrow havin' fun,<br>But back home he'll always run<br>To sweet melissa... mmm...<br><br>Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.<br>And no one knows the gypsy's name<br><br>No one hears his lonely sigh,<br>There are no blankets where he lies.<br>In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies<br>With sweet melissa... mmm...<br><br>Again the morning's come,<br>Again he's on the run,<br>Sunbeams shining through his hair,<br>Appearing not to have a care.<br>Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on.<br><br>Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (lord, lord)<br>Will you hide the dead man's ghost,<br>Or will he lie, beneath the clay,<br>Or will his spirit roll away? <br><br>But I know that he won't stay without melissa.<br><br>Yes I know that he won't stay without melissa.
