Flying High

I've got something I'd like to tell you Something that happend to me I'd been feelin' thoroughly lowdown So I went to see the gypsy She sat me down by her candle She said she had the powers that be And she looked me in the eye and took my hand And this is what she said to me Chorus: She said, now you're flying high Tomorrow you might be low The same thing that makes your baby cry Might make him get up and go She said this would be all for now But that you might come back If you find it hard to understand Simple little words like that So I gave her all of my money And took off for Singapore But I couldn't unravel those words of hers So I went back to the gypsy for more Chorus Well, just about this time my luck changed And fortune did roll in Well I learned the meaning of happiness And the value of a friend I met a fine young gentleman As fine as a man can be But I never forgot that gypsy girl And what she said to me Chorus
