Verse 1
I went to see a gypsy
To get my fortune told
He said you want the good news
But You won't be getting old
The reaper soon will find you
To end your run of luck
Your future is behind you and your past is catching up
Chorus
Gypsy with your band of gold
Tell me what the future holds
Gypsy I know you know
Cause the sign outside told me so
Verse 2
Everyday is looking like the end of the line
And someone's goose is cooking in this crystal ball of mine
Your tea leaves don't show much to see
Your life line ain't no bigger
I'd say your life expectancy won't reach no double figures
Your time in roman numeral is one I on its own
Next time you're at a funeral don't bother going home
The Gypsy - (2)
Chorus
Gypsy with your band of gold
Tell me what the future holds
Gypsy I know you know
Cause the sign outside told me so
Sax / Guitar Solo
Chorus
Gypsy with your band of gold
Tell me what the future holds
Gypsy I know you know
Cause the sign outside told me so
Verse 3
Now Cross my hand with silver the wise old the gypsy said
All I had was a length of pipe so I crossed his head with lead
I told that wise old gypsy I'm sorry I got rough
But you would have seen it comin if you really knew your stuff
Chorus
Gypsy with your band of gold
Tell me what the future holds
Gypsy I know you know
Cause the sign outside told me so
