lyrics

Ballad of the gypsy (by Langston Hughes)

I went to the Gypsy’s.
Gypsy settin’ all alone.
I said, Tell me, Gypsy,
When will my gal be home?

Gypsy said, Silver,
Put some silver in my hand
And I’ll look into the future
And tell you all I can.

I crossed her palm with silver,
Then she started in to lie.
She said, Now, listen, Mister,
She’ll be here by and by.

Aw, what a lie!

I been waitin’ and a-waitin’
And she ain’t come home yet.
Something musta happened
To make my gal forget.

Uh! I hates a lyin’ Gypsy
Will take good money from you,
Tell you pretty stories
And take your money from you–

But if I was a Gypsy
I would take your money, too.
