Fourtune Teller

Robert Plant · Other Songs - Robert Plant

Went to the fourtune teller

had my fourtune read

I didnt know what to tell her

I had a dizzy felling in my head



Took a look at my palm

she said son you feel kinda warm

she looked into a crystal ball

she said you're in love

how could that be so of all the girls i know

she said when the next one arrives you'll be looking into her eyes



Left there in a hurry

looking forward to my big surprise

the next day i discovered

that the fourtune teller told me a lie

I hurried back down to that woman as mad as i could be

I said i didnt see nobody why had she made a fool out me

and then something struck me

as if it came from up above

while looking at the fourtune teller

I fell in love



Now im a happy fella, cause im married to the fourtune teller

im as happy as we can be

and now i get my fourtune told for free



ooooh...yes i did

About Fourtune Teller

Robert Plant's "Fourtune Teller" stands as a hauntingly atmospheric track from his 1982 solo period, characterized by his signature baritone delivery and a moody, blues-tinged arrangement. The song reflects the introspective and sometimes melancholic tone of his work during this era, blending elements of rock with a distinct sense of drama that became a hallmark of his solo career. While often associated with the broader landscape of his discography, the recording captures a moment of personal reflection, utilizing Plant's vocal prowess to convey deep emotion without relying on overt lyrical exposition. Its enduring appeal lies in the raw intensity of the performance and the evocative sonic texture that defines Plant's approach to solo music, distinguishing it from his earlier work with Led Zeppelin.
