Dolly Parton - Gypsy Joe & Me Lyrics
We might have slept in a rail yard or camped by the river bankWe fed ourselves from the fruit of the landAnd quenched our thirst with rainWe never did allow no roots to grow beneath our feetLife just had no pattern for gypsy joe and meAll we had was each other and the rags upon our backThe closest thing to a home we new was some abandoned shackBut we had all we needed and the rest we didnt needLife was free and simple for gypsy joe and meNow gypsy was my little dog, I found by the road in a ditchAnd so I named him gypsy, cause that name just seemed to fitOh and joe he was my man, the flower of my soulThou he never said he loved me, I just always seemed to knowWhile standing by the highway, thumbin for a rideThe speeding wheels of a passing car, took gypsys lifeI lost him where I found him and his loss was miseryNow theres no more gypsy, theres just joe and meWell the winter came and the snow did fallAnd the night was cold and stillAnd the rags we wore were not enoughAnd joe he caught the chillAnd he told me how he loved meAnd in my arms he went to sleepNow theres no more gypsy, no more joe, theres just meWhile standin here on the edge of this bridgeLookin down I seeThe face of joe and gypsy, lookin back at meAnd somewhere in the distance I can hear them callin meTonight well be together againGypsy, joe and me
