As rec by DOROTHY SQUIRES with Billy Reid & His Orch.:


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

In a quaint caravan there's a lady they call The Gypsy
She can look in the future and drive away all your fears
Everything 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
But 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
