Lonely Hearts Club (Billie Jo Spears) - STING 21507   (Jack Borgström)

 (Opener, Middle Break & Closer):

FOUR LADIES PROMENADE – a one time you go ‘round

Get back and SWING your man – and everybody swing

join hands and CIRCLE LEFT in a ring – ALLEMANDE LEFT your Corner lady and WEAVE

Lonely hearts club tell me, why do they call you lonely?

 – Swing your girl and Promenade

For the price of a letter and an old faded picture

You've helped her find herself a loving man

 (Figure):

Well HEADS PROMENADE HALF WAY you’re walkin’ on around the ring

Walk in and SQUARE THRU FOUR hands around you know

All the way and then a RIGHT AND LEFT THRU and you turn your girl

VEER LEFT and the COUPLES CIRCULATE one time tonight

HALF TAG and then –SCOOTBACK you move right in – SWING the girl around PROMENADE

For the price of a letter and an old faded picture

You've made her happier than she’s ever been

 (Tag):: Lonely hearts club tell me, why do they call you lonely?

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

When the letter came this morning - Happy teardrops filled my eyes

It had a picture of a smiling face - And a ticket tucked inside

He didn't have to write one word - I understood it all

The picture said, "I love you" - And the ticket said, "Come home"

Well, the big ole wheels - Are turning as we roll on down the line

"Hey there, big conductor - Won't you get me there on time?"

The Kudzu vines are winding - Up the trees beside the road

The grass is getting greener - So we must be getting close

There he stands a-waiting - As the train pulls to the gate

There's so many things to ask him - But they're gonna have to wait

With cap in hand he stands there - Every hair is combed in place

His shiny boots reflecting - The big smile on his face

Lonely hearts club tell me - Why do they call you lonely?

You've made me happier - Than I've ever been

For the price of a letter - And one old faded picture

You've helped me - Find myself a loving man

Arm in arm he leads me - To his buckboard by the tree

Hand in hand we ride - To the house he built for me

He picks me up and gently - Carries me through the cabin door

Goodbye lonely hearts club - I don't need you anymore

Lonely hearts club tell me - Why do they call you lonely?
