A Lonesome Heart

Gypsy Joe And Me - Ray Lynam

We might have slept

In a rail yard or camped by the

River bank

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 back

The closest thing to a home

We new was some abandoned

Shack

Woo we had all we want

And the rest we didn't need

Life was free and simple

For Gypsy Joe and me

Woo

Now Gypsy was my little dog

I found by the road in a

Ditch

So I named him Gypsy

'Cause that name just seemed

To fit

Why Joe she was my woman

The flower of my soul

Thou he never said he loved me

I just always seemed to

Know

While standing by the highway

Thumbin' for a ride

The speeding wheels of a passing car

Took Gypsy's life

And 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

The rags we have were not enough

Joe she caught the chill

And she told me how she loved me

In my arms she went to sleep

Now there's no more Gypsy

No more Joe there's just me

While standin' by the edge of this bridge

Lookin' down I can see

The face of Joe and Gypsy

Lookin' on back at me

And somewhere in the distance

I can hear them callin'

Me

Tonight we'll be together again

Gypsy Joe and me

Yet tonight we'll be together again

Gypsy Joe and me
