Step inside my tent, she, "I'd like to read you palm" Leave the dollar in the jar, this won't very long Leave the circus noise behind, close your eyes, your mind I'll tell you, if you 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 hands to shake She told me, the where I was born, she almost knew the date She lit a candle with her eyes and then she the table rise She took the 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,
me a sign, tell 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 told when you should speak and when you should not You were taught to read and write, to take your 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" I go, what'll I be? She said, "Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee"
Then when I came home night to lie in bed awake I thought of that old gypsy and the that she had said And now I see with due respect, the more we learn the we get So if you you've no regrets, go have your fortune read
I said, "Now what 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,
I go, what'll I be 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"
