The Gypsy Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

Step inside my tent, said she, "I'd like to read you palm" 

Leave your 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 leave or if you should go on 

Then I said, "Now what do ya see?" 

She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee" 

Give me a sign, tell it to me 

She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-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 ya see?" 

She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee" 

Give me a sign, tell it to me 

She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee" 

You are so old, you are so wise 

Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dy 

Then she spoke most quietly 

Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee 

When you we a child in 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, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee" 

Gimme a sign, tell it to me? 

She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"

Then when I came home that night to lie awake in bed 

I thought of that old gypsy and the words that she had said 

And now I say with due respect, the more we learn the worse we get 

So if you think you've no regrets, go have your fortune read 

Then I said, "Now what do ya see?" 

She said, "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"
