Lyrics:
- Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
- The gypsy flies from coast to coast
- Knowing many, loving none,
- Bearing sorrow havin' fun,
- But back home he'll always run
- To sweet Melissa... mmm...
- Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
- And no one knows the Gypsy's name
- No one hears his lonely sighs,
- There are no blankets where he lies.
- In all his deepest dreams the Gypsy flies
- with sweet Melissa... mmm...
- Again the morning's come,
- Again he's on the run,
- Sunbeams shining through his hair,
- Appearing 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)
- 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 without Melissa.
