Fortune Teller - Allen Toussaint

Fortune Teller Lyrics

Went to a fortune teller
To have my fortune read
I didn't what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my headSaid she'd take a look at my palm
She said son, do you feel kind of warm?
And she looked into her crystal ball
And said you're in loveI said it could not be so
Not with all the girls I know
She said when the next one arrives
You be looking into her eyesI left there in a hurry
All looking forward to my big surprise
The next thing I discovered
The fortune teller told me liesSo I ran back to that woman
Mad as I could be
I told her I didn't see nobody
Why she made a fool out of meThen something struck me
As if it came from up above
While looking at the fortune teller

I fell in loveNow I'm a happy fellow
I'm married to the fortune teller
We're happy as we can be
And now I get my fortune told for free
