Heartbreak Ahead - Wanda Jackson

A gypsy fortune teller in a gay market place

Saw in her crystal ball a young girl stricken face

Saw it was another woman and a man who were wed

She said turn back my childhood there’s heartbreak ahead

Heartbreak ahead the roadway is dark you’re paying for what started out as a

luck

You’re young your dreams are broken your heart it’s not glad

You can’t run away from this heartbreak ahead

The girl cried oh kind gypsy you have opened my heart

I love him he loves me we can’t bear to part

I tried to give him up when I found he was wed

There’s nothing for me now but heartbreak ahead

The gypsy said my child you give up shame and disgrace

Give him up or the world will soon laugh in your face

You can’t break up a home of a man who is wed

Without causing more sorrow and heartbreak ahead

Heartbreak ahead and you’re both to blame

But it’s not too late child to turn back from shame

But love without honor is love that it’s dead

And time will soon heal your heartbreak ahead
