Fourtune Teller
Robert Plant · Other Songs - Robert Plant
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.
