[00:05.33]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"
