[Verse]
I've Ggot something I'd like to Ctell you
GSomething that happened to Cme
I'd been Gfeeling thoroughly Amlow-down
So I Dwent to see the gypsyG

She sat me down by her Ccandle
She Gsaid she had the powers that Cbe
And she Glooked me in the eye and Amtook my hand
And Dthis is what she said to Gme
[Chorus]
She said, "CNow you're Dflying GhigDh__
ToCmorrow you Gmight be FlowG  
The Csame thing that Gmakes your A7baby cry
Might Dmake him get up and Ggo"
[Verse]
She said this would be Call for now
But Gthat you might come Cback
If you Gfind it hard to Amunderstand
DSimple little words like Gthat
[Verse]
So I gave her all of my Cmoney
And Gtook off for SingaCpore
But I Gcouldn't unravel those Amwords of hers
So I Dwent back to the gypsy for Gmore

ToCmorrow you Gmight be FlowG  
The Csame thing that Gmakes your A7baby cry
Might Dmake him get up and Ggo"

Well, Gjust about this time my Cluck changed
And Gfortune did roll Cin
Well I Glearned the meaning of Amhappiness
And the Dvalue of a Gfriend
[Verse]
I met a fine young Cgentleman
As Gfine as a man can Cbe
But I Gnever forgot that Amgypsy girl
And Dwhat she said to Gme

She said, "CNow you're Dflying GhigDh__
ToCmorrow you Gmight be FlowG  
The Csame thing that Gmakes your A7baby cry
Might Dmake him get up and Ggo"
