Alison Krauss & Union Station - Tiny broken heart - live at louisville palace, usa/2002 lyrics

He was just a little farm lad so busy at play With his little play mate outside the gate He stopped to wacth a truck that was parking next door At the home of his tiny play mate Then he saw his daddy watching 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 They soon went to work when he heard his daddy say "Our neighboors are moving today" "Oh no," he cried, "dear God don't let it be They can't take my sweetheart away" I know Dad you don't understand How a heart so young could conseive a plan I'm only seven now but it's just like you say Daddy, some day I'll be a man The man who owns the farm where your playmates do live He told me it has to be this way For winter time has come and the work is all done Thats way they are moving today Let us buy the farm so they could stay And give them all the toys that dear Santa gave And give them all my pennies in my little piggy bank Pennies that my darling helped me save
