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
