Verse 2:

Freight train, each car looks the same (all the same)

and no one knows the gypsy’s name

no one hears his lonely sigh

there are no blankets where he lies

and in deepest dreams the gypsy flies

with sweet Melissa hmmm mmmm

Bridge:

Again the morning comes

again he’s on the run

sunbeam shining through his hair

appearing not to have a care

C#m	A
pick up your gear and gypsy	roll on

roll on

Verse 3:

Crossroads, will you ever let him go, no, no, no

or will you hide the dead man’s ghost

or will he lie beneath the plain

or will his spirit float away

but I know that he won’t stay,

without Melissa

Yes I know that he won’t stay

without Melissa

No, no he just won’t stay
