[Chorus]

Again the morn

ing's come

Again he's on 

the run

Sunbeams shini

ng through his

 hair

Appearing not 

to have a care
           
Well, pick up 

              
your gear and 

             
gypsy roll on,

   
 roll on

ll you ever le

d, lord)
             
Will you hide 

           
the dead man's

 ghost
          
Or will he lie

            
, beneath the 

      
clay
             
Or will his sp

           
irit float awa

     
y?
         
But I know tha

             
t he won't sta

y without Meli
