Subject: RE: Lyr Req: went to a fortune teller have my fortune
Bessie Smith sang "The Young Woman Blues" with a 'verse' that says "I went to the gypsy to get my fortune told, She said hard luck, Bessie, your good luck's sold, but I'm as good as any woman in this town." She also tries more traditional medicine, "I went to the doctor the other day, He said you're well as well can be, I said doctor you don't what's troubling me."
