Gypsy Blues 1921

I was talking to a gypsy
and what did she have to tell you?
When my palm she read
I asked her when I would wed
and she shook her head.
And then what did she say?
I don't know because I ran away.

Now I've got the gypsy blues,
and you're sorry that you did refuse,
to wait and listen
to her gypsy news.
Maybe she was just in doubt,
and some line was trying to figure out
and tryin' to find
what it was about.
I would give all my weight in gold
to know what she was about to tell me
but if she had a said
that your sweetie you'd lose
they'd had to bury you
rather then to start a ruse,
Why you ran away
and you got your dues,
That's why I got those ipsy gypsy
blue Gypsy Blues.

Now I've got the gypsy blues,
and you're sorry that you did refuse,
