Fortune Teller

(album: Raising Sand - 2007)

Went to the fortune teller
Had my fortune read
I didn't know what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head

Took a look in my palm
she said son you feel kind of warm
she looked into a crystal ball
she said you're in love

How could that be so?
I thought of all the girls I know.
She said when the next one arrives
That you'll be looking into her eyes

Left there in a hurry
Looking forward to my big surprise
The next day I discovered
That the fortune teller told me a lie

I hurried back down to that woman
As mad as I could be
I said I didn't see nobody
Why had she made a fool out of me?

Then something struck me
As if it came from up above
While looking at the fortune teller
I fell in love

Now I'm a happy fellow
'Cause I'm married to the fortune teller
And I'm as happy as we can be
And now I get my fortune told for free
