(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] |
