Step inside my tent, she, "I'd like to read you palm" Leave the in the jar, this won't take very long Leave the noise behind, close your 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" I go, what'll I be? She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee"
She threw sawdust in the air and her hands began to shake She told me, the town where I was born, she almost the date She lit a candle her eyes and then she made the table rise She took the dollar the jar and then she guessed my weight
Then I said, "Now do ya see?" She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" You are so old, you are so Deedlee-dum,
me a sign, tell it to me She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" Then she spoke most Deedlee-dum,
When you we a at school they taught you quite a lot You were told when you should speak and when you not You were taught to read and write, to take lessons home at night A knowledge serves you well but the golden rule does not
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"
Then when I home that night to lie in bed awake I thought of old gypsy and the words that she had said And now I see with due respect, the more we the worse we get So if you feel you've no regrets, go have your fortune
Then I said, "Now do ya see?" She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" You are so old, you are so Deedlee-dum,
Give me a sign, it to me She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" Then she spoke quietly Deedlee-dum,
Where'll I go, I be She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" You are so old, you are so
Deedlee-dum, me a sign, tell it to me She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee"
