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