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
