Step inside my tent, said she, "I'd to read you palm" Leave the dollar in the jar, this won't take very Leave the circus noise behind, close eyes, relax your mind tell you, if you should quit now or if you should go on
Then I said, "Now do ya see?" She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" Where'll I go, I be? She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee"
She threw some sawdust in the air and her began to shake She told me, the town where I was born, she almost the date She lit a candle with her eyes and then she made the rise She took the dollar from the jar and she guessed my weight
I said, "Now what do ya see?" She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" You are so old, you are so Deedlee-dum,

I said, "Now what do ya see?" She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" You are so old, you are so Deedlee-dum,
