Step inside my tent, she, "I'd like to read you palm" Leave the dollar in the jar, this won't take very Leave the circus behind, close your eyes, relax your mind I'll you, if you should quit now or if you should go on
I said, "Now what do ya see?" She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" Where'll I go, 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 knew the date She lit a candle her eyes and then she made the table rise She the dollar from the jar and then 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,
Give me a sign, it to me She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" Then she spoke most Deedlee-dum,
you we a child at school they taught you quite a lot You were told when you should speak and you should not You were taught to read and write, to take your home at night A little knowledge serves you well but the rule does not
I said, "Now what do ya see?" She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" Where'll I go, I be? She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee"
Then when I came home that to lie in bed awake I of that old gypsy and the words that she had said And now I see with due respect, the we learn 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,
me a sign, tell it to me She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee" Then she spoke quietly Deedlee-dum,
I go, what'll 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"
