I Went to See the Gypsy lyrics

I went to see the gypsy

Staying in a big hotel

He smiled when he saw me coming

And he wished me well

His room was dark and crowded

The lights were low and dim

How are you, he asked of me

And I asked the same of 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 rid you of your fear

He did it in Las Vegas

And he can do it here

Oh the lights were on the river

Shining from outside

I contemplated every move

Or at least I tried

I went back to see the gypsy

It was nearly early dawn

The gypsy's door was open

But the gypsy was gone

And that pretty dancing girl

Oh, she could not be found

So I watched the sun come rising

In a little Minnesota town
