[Verse 1]
A D
He was just a little farm lad, so busy he'd play
A E
With his little playmate outside the gate.
A D
He stopped to watch a truck that was parking next door
A E A
At the home of his tiny playmate.
[Chorus 1]
E A
Then he saw his daddy watchin' too
D E
As the men swiftly walked to the cottage door
A D
He knew they were strangers that came from the town
A E A
Men he had never seen before.
[Verse 2]
A D
They soon went to work when he heard his daddy say,
A E
"Our neighbours are moving today"
A D
"Oh No!" he cried, "Dear God don't let it be,
A E A
They can't take my sweetheart away!"
[Chorus 2]
E A
I know dad you don't understand
D E
How a heart so young could conceive a plan
A D
I'm only seven now but it's just like you say
A E A
Daddy someday I'll be a man.
[Verse 3]
A D
The man who owns the farm where your playmates do live
A E
He told me it'd have to be this way.
A D
For when your time has come and your work is all done
A E A
That's why they are moving today.
[Chorus 3]
E A
Let us buy the farm so they can stay
D E
And give them all the toys that your Santa gave
A D
And give them all my pennies in my little piggy bank
A E A
Pennies that my darlin' helped me save.
