Oh fortune tellin' man |
|
Please tell me if you can |
|
Where where my papa was last night. |
|
He plays harp fiddle in a band uptown. |
|
Oh tell me can it be that he's been fiddling around. |
|
Oh fortune tellin' man |
|
Please tell me how I stand. |
|
Is my papa treating me wrong or right? |
|
Last night he was as strong as a lion when he left the flat, |
|
Came home this morning just as weak as a cat. |
|
Oh fortune tellin' man |
|
Please tell me if you can |
|
Where my papa was last night. |
|
Don't tell him where I was. |
|
Just tell me where he was last night. |
|
Oh fortune tellin' man |
|
Please tell me where I stand. |
|
Is my papa treating me wrong or right? |
|
My papa never would leave me |
|
All alone and blue |
|
Especially when there was a little homework to do. |
|
Oh fortune tellin' man, |
|
Please tell me if you can |
|
Where my papa was last night. |
|
Don't tell him where I was. |
|
Just tell me where he was last night. |
