a 1945 popular song
words and music by Billy Reid
The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
I sit alone and dream dear, dream of you night and day
Once you were here beside me, now you are far away
I’ve had my fortune told me, can I believe it’s true?
Soon we shall be together living our life anew
Refrain
In a quaint caravan there’s a lady they call the gypsy
She can look in the future, and drive away all your fears
Ev’rything will come right if you only believe the gypsy
She could tell at a glance that my heart was so full of tears
She looked at my hand and told me, my lover was always true
And yet in my heart I knew dear, somebody else was kissing you
Bit I’ll go there again ’cause I want to believe the gypsy
That my lover is true and will come back to me some day
