Melissa Lyrics

(Gregg Allman)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I have not come, yeah

To
testify

About our bad, bad misfortune

And I ain't here a wond'rin'
why

But I'll live on and I'll be strong

'Cause it just ain't my
cross to bear

I sat down and wrote you a long letter

It was just
the other day

Said, sure as the sunrise, baby

Tomorrow I'll be up
and on my way

But I'll live on and I'll be strong

'Cause it just
ain't my cross to bear

Oh no

Oh, but I'll live on and I'll be
strong

'Cause it just ain't my cross to bear

Yes now baby

But
in the end, baby

Long towards the end of your road

Don't reach out
for me, babe

'Cause I'm not gonna carry your load

But I'll live on
and I'll be strong

'Cause it just ain't my cross to bear

Yeah, yeah
