(bob lucas/belly boy music, bmi) 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
