I've got something I'd like to tell you
|
Something that happend to me
|
I'd been feelin' thoroughly lowdown
|
So I went to see the gypsy
|
|
She sat me down by her candle
|
She said she had the powers that be
|
And she looked me in the eye and took my hand
|
And this is what she said to me
|
|
Chorus:
|
She said, now you're flying high
|
Tomorrow you might be low
|
The same thing that makes your baby cry
|
Might make him get up and go
|
|
She said this would be all for now
|
But that you might come back
|
If you find it hard to understand
|
Simple little words like that
|
|
So I gave her all of my money
|
And took off for Singapore
|
But I couldn't unravel those words of hers
|
So I went back to the gypsy for more
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Well, just about this time my luck changed
|
And fortune did roll in
|
Well I learned the meaning of happiness
|
And the value of a friend
|
|
I met a fine young gentleman
|
As fine as a man can be
|
But I never forgot that gypsy girl
|
And what she said to me
|
|
Chorus
