Melissa Songtext
von Gregg Allman

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


Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same
No one knows the gypsy′s name
No one hears his lonely sigh
There are no blankets where he lies
In deepest dreams, the gypsy flies with sweet Melissa

Again, the morning comes
Again, he's on the run
Sunbeams shining through his hair
Appearing not to have a care
Pick up your gear, gypsy, roll on, roll on


Crossroads, will you ever let him go? Oh, Lord
Will you hide the dead man's ghost
Or will he lie beneath the clay, or will his spirit roll away?
But I know, he won′t stay without Melissa
Yes, I know, he won′t stay without Melissa
