Went to See the Gypsy

Went to see the gypsy Stayin' in a big hotel He smiled when he saw me coming And he said, "Well, well, well" His room was dark and crowded Lights were low and dim "How are you?" he said to me I said it back to him I went down to the lobby To make a small call out A pretty dancing girl was there And she began to shout "Go on back to see the gypsy He can move you from the rear Drive you from your fear Bring you through the mirror He did it in Las Vegas And he can do it here" Outside the lights were shining On the river of tears I watched them from the distance With music in my ears I went back to see the gypsy It was nearly early dawn The gypsy's door was open wide But the gypsy was gone And that pretty dancing girl She could not be found So I watched that sun come rising From that little Minnesota town --- Went to See the Gypsy - Bob Dylan
