Alison Krauss - Tiny Broken Heart

He was just a little farm lad so busy at play


In his little play house down by 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 man swiftly walked to the cottage door


He knew they were strangers that come from the town


Men he had never seen before





They soon were at their work and 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 that you don't understand


How a heart so young can conceive a plan


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


Dad someday I'll be a man





The man who runs the farm where your playmate now lives


He told me it'd have to be this way


For winter time has come and their work is all done


So now they are moving away





Let us buy the farm so they can stay


Give them all my toys that dear Santa gave


And give him the pennies in my little bank


Pennies that my darling helped me save
