Tiny Broken Heart - Alison Krauss, Union Station

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 came 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 could conceive a plan

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

Daddy someday I’ll be a man

The man who owns the farm where your playmate now lives

He told me it had 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

And give them all my toys that dear Santa gave

And give them the pennies in my little piggy bank

Pennies that my darling helped me save
