Heartbreak Ahead Lyrics - Wanda Jackson

A gypsy fortune teller in a gay market place 

Saw in her crystal ball a young girl stricken face 

Saw in clouds 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
