The Fortune Teller

Sarah Arnett's flamboyant artworks are created in homage to her passion for the exotic, and her formative years spent living and travelling in tropical climes.

Fortune Teller is inspired by a song of the same name that was originally released by Benny Spellman in 1962, but has since been covered by The Hollies, The Who and Robert Plant. 

Went to the fortune teller
To have my fortune read
I didn't want to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head

Said she'd take a look at my palm
Said "Son, do you feel kind of warm?"
And she looked into her crystal ball
Said "You're in love"

Said it could not be so
Not with all the girls I know
Said when the next one arrives
Looking into her eyes

I left there in a hurry
Much to my big surprise
The next thing I discovered
The fortune teller told me lies

So I ran back to that woman
Mad as I could be
Told her I didn't see nobody
How she made a fool out of me

At last something shook me
As if it came down from above
And now the fortune teller
And I fell in love
