Skeeter Davis - Gypsy Joe And Me lyrics

We might have slept in the mayor's yard or camped by the river banks We fed ourselves from the fruit of the land and quenched our thirst with rain We never did allow no roots to grow beneath our feet Life just had no pattern for Gypsy Joe and me All we had was each other and the rags upon our backs The closest thing to a home we new was some abandoned shack But we had all we wanted and the rest we didn't need Life was free and simple for Gypsy Joe and me Now Gypsy was my little dog I found by the road in a ditch And so I named him Gypsy cause that name just seemed to fit Oh and Joe he was my man he was the flower of my soul Though he never said he loved me I just always seemed to know While standing by the highway a thumbin' for a ride The speeding wheels of a pa**ing car took Gypsy's life I lost him where I found him and his loss was misery Now there's no more Gypsy there's just Joe and me Well the winter came and the snow did fall and the night was cold and still And the rags we wore were not enough and Joe he caught the chill He told me how he loved me and in my arms he went to sleep Now there's no more Gypsy no more Joe there's just me While standing here on the edge of this bridge looking down I see The face of Joe and Gypsy a looking up at me And somewhere in the distance I can hear them calling me Tonight we'll be together again Gypsy Joe and me Tonight we'll be together again Gypsy Joe and me
