(Bob Lucas)
|
I met a man
|
Traveling down the road
|
He looked me in the eye
|
And he gave me a ring
|
And he gave me a rose
|
And he told me some gypsy lies
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
The road is a lover
|
You never recover
|
Not now or any time soon
|
My head starts to spin
|
When I think where I've been
|
Playin' twin to an old fiddle tune, oh
|
As the wind chases after the moon
|
|
Through the kindness
|
Shown me that day
|
I gave him this melody
|
And we sang in duet
|
`Neath the stars in the sky
|
And the shadows of dancing trees
|
|
[Chorus]
|
