Heartbreak Express (ENIS 2402) Kenny Jarvis & Wes Dyer (Dolly Parton) 1982

MAINSTREAM

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK

Circle Left

* I've been a rambler most all of my life

Had a lot of women, but I never took a wife

Allemande the Corner girl, come home DoSaDo

Allemande the Corner and Weave the Ring you know

** I've got a woman in every little town

Swing that girl and Promenade her round

Get out of my way boys, I ain't slowing down

Cause the heartbreak express is coming through town

ALTERNATE LYRICS

* You'll know I've been there when I come to your town

I'll break a heart, whenever I'm around

** I love 'em and I leave 'em, in every little town

FIGURE

Heads Square Thru in the middle of the ring you go

All the way and do a DoSaDo

Swing Thru tonight, now Spin the Top for me

Boys move up, Right & Left Thru and turn the girl you see

Flutter Wheel straight across, Sweep 1/4 more

Swing that girl, Promenade the floor

Get out of my way boys, I ain't slowing down

Cause the heartbreak express is coming through town

CLOSER

4 Boys Promenade in the middle of the ring you go

Get back home and Swing the girl around you know

Join hands and Circle to the Left go moving round

Allemande the Corner girl, and Weave around the town

Wind it in and out around, until you meet your own

Swing that girl and Promenade her home

Get out of my way boys, I ain't slowing down

Cause the heartbreak express is coming through town

ORIGINAL LYRICS

Packin' my suitcase, writin' a tear-stained goodbye note
Sayin' so long to a love gone wrong and that's all she wrote
Leavin' behind what once was mine with sad regrets
But it's all gone now and I'm leavin' town on the Heartbreak Express

Walkin' in the rain with a heart full of pain to the train depot
The only things that's gonna keep me warm now is my overcoat
Lost and lonely, waitin' in line at the ticket desk
Hey mister, won't you give me a one-way ticket on the Heartbreak Express?

I'm gonna roll on down the line (on down the line)
I'm gonna go so far, I'm gonna get it off my mind
(Get it off your mind)
It hurts to know it ain't enough when you give your best
Got a ticket to ride and I'm leavin' tonight on the Heartbreak Express
(Heartbreak Express)

Oh, I couldn't hold a candle to the flaming beauty that caught his eye
It's killin' me now, but I won't stay around and let him watch me die
Oh, it just goes to show that you never do know
'Cause I never would've guessed
I'd be sittin' here now on a train sorrow bound called the Heartbreak Express

I'm gonna roll on down the line (on down the line)
I'm gonna go so far, I'm gonna get it off my mind
(Get it off your mind)
Maybe someday, somewhere, someway, I will forget
But there's no goin' back
So roll down the track, you ole Heartbreak Express
(Heartbreak Express)

Feelin' alone while a low whistle moans on the Heartbreak Express

Roll on, roll on down the line (down the line)
Gonna get him off my mind
Roll on, roll on, roll on down the line
Got a ticket to ride, so I'm leavin' tonight on the Heartbreak Express
(Heartbreak Express)
