(Dolly Parton)

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 
But we had all we needed and the rest we didn't need 
Life was free and simple for Gypsy Joe and me 
Now Gypsy was my little dog, I found by the road in a ditch 
And so I named him Gypsy, cause that name just seemed to fit 
Oh and Joe he was my man, 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 
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 
And the rags we wore were not enough 
And Joe he caught the chill 
And he told me how he loved me 
And in my arms he went to sleep 
Now there's no more Gypsy, no more Joe, there's just me 

While standin' here on the edge of this bridge 
Lookin' down I see 
The face of Joe and Gypsy, lookin' back at me 
And somewhere in the distance I can hear them callin' me 
Tonight we'll be together again 
Gypsy, Joe and me
