Because The Fortune Teller Told Me 1900

Feelin' so blue
downhearted too,
'cause I thought my babe
was kind o' cold;
Straight way I went,
four bits I spent,
just to have my
future fortune told.
Gipsy done said,
that I would wed
just the gal
whose beau
I'd like to be,
ain't sad no more
feel glad for sure,
now I know
ma baby loves me!
Now

Earth scarcely holds me
since the gipsy told me,
she says ma Mandy
jus' loves her Sandy,
so I won't tarry,
I'll ask her to marry,
I'm happy because
the fortune teller told me!

Earth scarcely holds me
since the gipsy told me,
she says ma Mandy
jus' loves her Sandy,
so I won't tarry,
I'll ask her to marry,
I'm happy because
the fortune teller told me!

Cards tell, said she,
speakin' to me,
dark man's tried to steal
your turtle dove!
He stands no show
to be her beau,
for you are
her one and only love!
your wish comes true,
money for you!
for you'll strike
a big stake pretty soon.
Swell trip there'll be
over the sea,
looks to me
just like a honeymoon.
Now

Earth scarcely holds me
since the gipsy told me,
she says ma Mandy
jus' loves her Sandy,
so I won't tarry,
I'll ask her to marry,
I'm happy because
the fortune teller told me!

Earth scarcely holds me
since the gipsy told me,
she says ma Mandy
jus' loves her Sandy,
so I won't tarry,
I'll ask her to marry,
I'm happy because
the fortune teller told me!
