He was just a little farm lad so busy at play |
| [00:23.73] |
with his little play mate outside the gate |
| [00:27.96] |
He stopped to watch a truck that was parking next door |
| [00:32.13] |
At the home of his tiny play mate |
| [00:36.76] |
|
| [00:37.05] |
Then he saw his daddy watching too |
| [00:40.40] |
As the men swiftly walked to the cottage door |
| [00:45.24] |
He knew they were strangers that came from the town |
| [00:49.37] |
Men he had never seen before |
| [00:53.09] |
|
| [01:12.85] |
They soon went to work when he heard his daddy say |
| [01:17.06] |
Our neighboors are moving today |
| [01:21.65] |
"Oh no" he cried dear God don't let it be |
| [01:25.54] |
They can't take my sweetheart away |
| [01:29.40] |
|
| [01:30.39] |
I know Dad you don't understand |
| [01:34.62] |
How a heart so young could conceive a plan |
| [01:38.71] |
I'm only 7 now but it's just like you say |
| [01:43.44] |
Daddy some day I'll be a man |
| [01:47.06] |
|
| [02:06.72] |
The man who owns the farm where your playmates do live |
| [02:10.88] |
He told me it has to be this way |
| [02:15.16] |
For winter time has come and the work is all done |
| [02:19.42] |
That's why they are moving today |
| [02:22.76] |
|
| [02:24.22] |
Let us buy the farm so they can stay |
| [02:28.21] |
And give them all the toys that dear Santa gave |
| [02:32.52] |
And give them all my pennies in my little piggy bank |
| [02:37.32] |
Pennies that my darling help me save |
