About Melissa

This song was recorded after Duane's death and he was on the tracks 4-9 from Eat A Peach he did not do Ain't Wastin' Time No More", "Les Brers in A Minor", or "Melissa" (fun fact) Dicky Betts played guitar in those three songs alone. .

Melissa Lyrics

[00:14.37] Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah
[00:25.09] The gypsy flies from coast to coast
[00:30.78] Knowing many, loving none
[00:37.02] Bearing sorrow, having fun
[00:42.42] But, back home he'll always run to sweet Melissa
[00:53.48] Mm-hmm
[01:00.08] Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same
[01:11.80] And no one knows the gypsy's man
[01:17.20] And no one hears his lonely sighs
[01:23.06] There are no blankets where he lies
[01:28.03] Lord, in his deepest dreams the gypsy flies with sweet Melissa
[01:37.86] Mmm-hmm
[01:45.82] Again, the morning's come
[01:49.25] Again, he's on the run
[01:51.55] A sunbeam's shining through his hair
[01:54.18] Fear not to have a care
[01:57.07] Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on
[02:10.36] Crossroads, will you ever let him go, Lord, Lord?
[02:20.18] Or will you hide the dead man's ghost?
[02:26.16] Or will he lie, beneath the clay?
[02:31.92] Or will his spirit float away?
[02:37.91] But, I know that he won't stay without Melissa
[02:50.15] Yes, I know that he won't stay, without Melissa
[03:01.24] Lord, Lord, it's all the same
[03:08.08] Mmm-hmm
[03:16.16]
