I went to see The Gypsy Staying in a big hotel He smiled when he saw me comin' an' he said: "well, well, well" His room was dark and crowded lights were low and dim "How are you"? he said to me I said it back to him I went down to the lobby To make a small call out A pretty dancing girl was there and she began to shout Go on back to see The Gypsy He can move you from the rear Drive you from your fear Bring you through the mirror
He did it in Las Vegas An' he can do it here Outside the lights were shining On the river of tears I watched him from the distance with the music in my ears I went back to see The Gypsy It was nearly early dawn The Gypsy's door was open wide but The Gypsy was gone And that pretty dancing girl She could not be found So I watched that sun come rising from a little Minnesota town From that little Minnesota town
