AHe was just a little farm lad, so Dbusy at play
With his Alittle play mate outside the Egate.
Well, he Astopped to watch a truck that was Dparking next door
At the Ahome of his Etiny play Amate.
EThen he saw his Daddy watchin' Atoo
As the men swiftly walked Dto the Carter's Edoor.
He Aknew they were strangers that Dcame from the town,
AMen he had Enever seen beAfore.

How a heart so young Dcould conceive a Eplan.

And Agive him all my pennies in my Dlittle piggy bank!
