Gypsy
Step inside my tent, said she, "I'd like to read you palm"Leave the dollar in the jar, this won't take very longLeave the circus noise behind, close your eyes, relax your mindI'll tell you, if you should quit now or if you should go onThen I said, "Now what do ya see?"She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"Where'll I go, what'll I be?She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"She threw some sawdust in the air and her hands began to shakeShe told me, the town where I was born, she almost knew the dateShe lit a candle with her eyes and then she made the table riseShe took the dollar from the jar and then she guessed my weightThen I said, "Now what do ya see?"She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"You are so old, you are so wiseDeedlee-dumb, deedlee-dyGive me a sign, tell it to meShe said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"Then she spoke most quietlyDeedlee-dumb, deedlee-deeWhen you we a child at school they taught you quite a lotLetras de cancionesYou were told when you should speak and when you should notYou were taught to read and write, to take your lessons home at nightA little knowledge serves you well but the golden rule does notThen I said, "Now what do ya see?"She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"Where'll I go, what'll I be?She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"Then when I came home that night to lie in bed awakeI thought of that old gypsy and the words that she had saidAnd now I see with due respect, the more we learn the worse we getSo if you feel you've no regrets, go have your fortune readThen I said, "Now what do ya see?"She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"You are so old, you are so wiseDeedlee-dumb, deedlee-dyGive me a sign, tell it to meShe said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"Then she spoke most quietlyDeedlee-dumb, deedlee-deeWhere'll I go, what'll I beShe said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"You are so old, you are so wiseDeedlee-dumb, deedlee-dyGive me a sign, tell it to meShe said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee" From Letras Mania
