Tiny Broken Heart

He was just a little farm lad, so busy he'd play

With his little playmate outside the gate.

He stopped to watch a truck that was parking next door

At the home of his tiny playmate.

Chorus1:

Then he saw his daddy watchin' too

As the men swiftly walked to the cottage door

He knew they were strangers that came from the town

Men he had never seen before.

Verse2:

They soon went to work when he heard his daddy say,

"Our neighbours are moving today"

"Oh No!" he cried, "Dear God don't let it be,

They can't take my sweetheart away!"

Chorus2:

I know dad you don't understand

How a heart so young could conceive a plan

I'm only seven now but it's just like you say

Daddy someday I'll be a man.

Verse3:

The man who owns the farm where your playmates do live

He told me it'd have to be this way.

For when your time has come and your work is all done

That's why they are moving today.

Chorus3:

Let us buy the farm so they can stay

And give them all the toys that your Santa gave

And give them all my pennies in my little piggy bank

Pennies that my darlin' helped me save.
