The Gypsy Songtext
von The James Hunter Six

I went to see the gypsy
To get my fortune told
He said, "You want the good news first?
You won′t be getting old
The reaper soon will find you
To end your run of luck
Your future is behind you
And your past is catching up"

Gypsy, with your
Tell me what the future holds
Gypsy, I know you know
'Cause the sign outside told me so

Said, "Every day is looking like the end of the line
And someone′s goose is cooking in this crystal ball of mine
Your tea leaves don't show much to see
Your lifeline ain't no bigger
I′d say your life expectancy won′t reach no double figures
Your time in Roman numerals is one eye on its own
Next time you're at a funeral, don′t bother going home"


Gypsy, with your
Tell me what the future holds
Gypsy, I know you know
'Cause the sign outside told me so

Gypsy, with your
Tell me what the future holds
Gypsy, I know you know
′Cause the sign outside told me so

I crossed my hand with silver
The wise old gypsy said
All I had was a length of pipe
So I crossed his head with lead
I told that wise old gypsy
"I'm sorry I got rough
But you would have seen it coming
If you really knew your stuff"

Gypsy, with your
Tell me what the future holds
Gypsy, I know you know
′Cause the sign outside told me so
