Letra da Música The Gypsy de Lightfoot Gordon

Step inside my tent, said she, I'd like to read you palm.
Leave the dollar in the jar, this won't take very long.
Leave the circus noise behind, close your eyes, relax your mind,
I'll tell you if you should quit now or if you should go on.
Then I said, now what do you see, she said, deedle dee dum, deedle dee dee.
Where'll I go, what'll I be, she said, deedle dee dum, deedle dee dee.

She threw some sawdust in the air and her hands began to shake.
She told me the town where I was born, she almost knew the date.
She lit a candle with her eyes and then she made the table rise.
She took the dollar from the jar and then she guessed my weight.
Then I said, now what do you see, she said, deedle dee dum, deedle dee dee.
You are so old, you are so wise, deedle dee dum, deedle dee dy.
Give me a sign, tell it to me, she said, deedle dee dum, deedle dee dee.
Then she spoke most quietly, deedle dee dum, deedle dee dee.

When you we a child at school, they taught you quite a lot.
You were told when you should speak and when you should not.
You were taught to read and write, to take your lessons home at night.
A little knowledge serves you well but the golden rule does not.
Then I said, now what do you mean? she said, deedle dee dum, deedle dee dee.
Where'll I go, what'll I be, she said, deedle dee dum, deedle dee dee.

Then when I came home that night to lie in bed awake,
I thought of that old gypsy and the words that she had said.
And now I see with due respect, the more we learn the worse we get.
So if you feel you've no regrets, go have your fortune read.
Then I said, now what do you see, she said, deedle dee dum, deedle dee dee.
Where'll I go, what'll I be, she said, deedle dee dum, deedle dee dee.
You are so old, you are so wise, deedle dee dum, deedle dee dy.
Give me a sign, tell it to me, she said, deedle dee dum, deedle dee dee.
Where'll I go, what'll I be, she said, deedle dee dum, deedle dee dee.
You are so old, you are so wise, deedle dee dum, deedle dee dy
Give me a sign, tell it to me, she said, deedle dee dum, deedle dee dee.
