GYPSY AND THE TEA LEAVES

(Hank Thompson - Marvin Hipps)

« © '59 Brazos Valley Music »



The Gypsy spread the tea leaves to find the reason why

You took my heart and broke it and told me all those lies

The sign of loving someone was seen there in the leaves

But why was it another why couldn't it be me

The tea leaves are just one way to show me I have lost

Someone near to me someone dear to me for her I'll pay the cost

The Gypsy broke my heart dear though I know she meant no harm

There were teardrops on the tea leaves because you're in another's arms

The tea leaves are just one way...
