He was just a little farm lad so busy at play |
| [00:10.81] |
In his little play house down by the gate |
| [00:16.02] |
He stopped to watch a truck that was parking next door |
| [00:21.14] |
At the home of his tiny playmate |
| [00:26.64] |
Then he saw his daddy watching too |
| [00:31.20] |
As the man swiftly walked to the cottage door |
| [00:36.75] |
He knew they were strangers that came from the town |
| [00:42.35] |
Men he had never seen before |
| [00:52.67] |
They soon were at their work |
| [00:54.85] |
And he heard his daddy say, |
| [00:57.85] |
"Our neighbors are moving today" |
| [01:03.51] |
"Oh no" he cried dear, "God don't let it be" |
| [01:08.52] |
"They can't take my sweetheart away" |
| [01:14.07] |
"I know Dad that you don't understand |
| [01:19.23] |
How a heart so young can conceive a plan |
| [01:24.19] |
I'm only seven now but it's just like you said |
| [01:29.77] |
Dad someday I'll be a man" |
| [01:45.16] |
"The man who runs the farm where your playmate now lives |
| [01:50.40] |
He told me it'd have to be this way |
| [01:55.58] |
For winter time has come and their work is all done |
| [02:00.79] |
So now they are moving away" |
| [02:06.44] |
"Let us buy the farm so they can stay |
| [02:11.63] |
Give them all my toys that dear Santa gave |
| [02:17.06] |
And give him the pennies in my little picky bank |
| [02:22.61] |
Pennies that my darling helped me save" |
