Melissa Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Allman Brothers Band
Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
Knowing many, loving none,
Bearing sorrow havin' fun,
But back home he'll always run
To sweet Melissa... mmm...
Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
And no one knows the Gypsy's name
No one hears his lonely sighs,
There are no blankets where he lies.
In all his deepest dreams the Gypsy flies
with sweet Melissa... mmm...
Again the morning's come,
Again he's on the run,
Sunbeams shining through his hair,
Appearing not to have a care.
Well, pick up your gear and Gypsy roll on, roll on.
Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (Lord, Lord)
Will you hide the dead man's ghost,
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
or will his spirit float away?
But I know that he won't stay without Melissa.
Yes I know that he won't stay without Melissa.

My Mom found out she was having a babygirl 17 years ago. and she planned on naming me Remi, and my father hated it, and this was and still is his favorite song, and hes sang it to me since the first time i was in his arms, i am and will always be his Sweet Melissa, and my other nickname is Gumski, it has no meaning but when the doctor put me in his arms for the very first time, i just looked like his little Gumski and that name has stuck with me, i love it, me and my daddy blast this song through out the house and sing it and cry! even though i am 17 years old he still holds me like the babygirl i once was. i cant make it through this song with out breaking down its so beautiful! and i thank god everyday for my father!! ive made mistakes, but hes still there and i love him, and i could never imagine him not being in my life!! i love you daddy your the best man in this whole world!!!

Never too many Melissa's | Reviewer: Sweet Melissa | 1/15/2008
The Allman Brothers have always been an inspiration to me, even long before I learned of the song. Some how when listening to the song, as a 'Melissa',(or not), you can get lost in the lyrics. I admire, respect and love the song still, so much so, that I brought another "Melissa" into the world 20 years ago. Now she and I have more than a name in common, now we are BOTH stars in an awesome Allman Brothers song. Thanks so much for making all the "Melissa's" feel so "Sweet".
Sweet Melissa, form Georgia.
Sweet and Sad | Reviewer: paul | 1/5/2008
I have loved this song about a traveling man.the Gypsy! It touched my soul the first time i heard it and has been my favorite Alman Bros. song since then, a very long time ago. Thanks for many happy/sad hours of listening pleasure! even though you may not be here any longer, to see this.

To my sweet Melissa | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/11/2007
When my wife and I learned that we were going to have a little girl, there was no doubt in my mind that she would be named Melissa... Mainly after the Allman Brothers' tune that has been with me since I realized what music can do to one's soul.
My wife did not even try to find another name as she also loves it, although she had never heard the song.
Melissa was born this pas Friday December 7th and is all I could ever want. Sweet and beautiful, for the gypsy in me!
To all Melissas' out there... stay sweet!
Dad didn't win that fight. | Reviewer: Amber Melissa | 11/8/2007
Well, my Dad wanted so bad for my first name to be Melissa, after the song of course! But Mom had other ideas...so he settled for giving me (Sweet) Melissa as a middle name. You know how people see your middle initial sometimes and try to guess your name. They never guess mine...then when they give up I tell them about the song and how my Dad named me after it.
It's cool to see I share a story with so many other Sweet Melissa's. Thank you Allman Brothers for my beautiful middle name. I LOVE IT!
love it | Reviewer: Melissa | 10/28/2007
I never knew this song existed until I was 18. One of the teachers at my high school (who I am in love with) sang it to me one day. It was the greatest feeling in the world hearing him sing "sweet Melissa" to me! Every time I hear it I think of him, and it makes me so happy.
sweetist of all ... sweet melissa | Reviewer: joe arroya | 10/26/2007
I've always loved this song. It is a song of creme de la creme. No matter who or where the gypsie always runs to Melissa...the sweet of sweet. I met a girl Melissa 9 yrs ago. I fell in love with her. Such a wonderfully spirited girl. She's moved on. Has a different life now as do I.
I still see her beautiful eyes and smiling face and think of her as I listen to "Sweet Melissa".
Great Song!
My sweet Melissa | Reviewer: Jaik | 9/17/2007
A big fan of Kerouac, I've always had a bit of the gypsy gene in me. Living in Ohio, I met my sweet Melissa online and recently travelled to New Zealand to meet her. Now, comes this gypsy's journey to find a way back home to her. Love this song, it's helped me sleep better since I had to come back to the states.
