Lyrics
Verse 1:
Deep down in my heart there's a burning question
Maybe you can answer it, Gypsy Maid
Have I searched in vain for that little blue bird?
Tell me how much longer 'twill be delayed
Will my dreams come true? Tell me my fortune, do.
Chorus:
Tell me, little Gypsy
What the future holds for me
Kindly cross my palm with silver
And I'll try and see
Tell me is there someone
In the days that are to be
There's a girl for ev'ry boy in the world
There must be someone for me
