We might have slept in a maize yard or camped by the river banks
Fed ourselves from the fruit of the
Land, quenched our thirst with rain
We never did allow no roots to grow beneath our feet
Life just had no pattern for Gypsy, Jo and me
All we had was each other and the rags upon our back
The closest thing to a home we knew was some abandoned shack
But we had all we wanted and the rest we didn't need
Life was free and simple for Gypsy, Jo and me
Now Gypsy was my little dog, I found by the road in a ditch
So I named him Gypsy, 'cause that name seemed to fit
Jo, she was my woman, the flower of my soul
She never said she loved me, I just always seemed to know
While standing by the highway thumbing for a ride
The speeding wheels of a passing car took Gypsy's life
And I lost him where I found him and his loss was misery
Now there's no more Gypsy, there's just Jo and me
Well the winter came and the snow did
Fall and the night was cold and still
The rags we had were not enough, Jo she caught the chill
And she told me how she loved me and in my arms she went to sleep
Now there's no more Gypsy, no more Jo, there's just me
While standing by the edge of this bridge, looking down I can see
The face of Jo and Gypsy looking up at me
And somewhere in the distance I can hear them calling me
Tonight we'll be together again, Gypsy, Jo and me
Yes, tonight we'll be together again, Gypsy, Jo and me
