Alison Krauss - Tiny Broken Heart lyrics

He was just a little farm lad, so busy at 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 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 neighbors 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 conceive a plan I'm only seven now but it's just like you say Daddy, someday I'll be a man The man who owns the farm where your playmates do live He told me it'd have to be this way For winter time has come and the work is all done That's why they are moving today Let us buy the farm so they can 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 darlin' help me save
