It Broke My Heart

Saw a man who was fifty one

He had married daughters and a single son

And he's lost his job as this years begun

And I broke my heart

It broke my heart, it broke my heart

It broke my heart and I

Saw his wife who was fifty-two

She said, she was sure they could make it through

That her single wage would just have to do

And I broke my heart

It broke my heart, it broke my heart

It broke my heart and I

Talked about it with the family now who

What began in sadness ended up a row

All the guys with the clever mouths

They were saying we should move south

Saw the son who's been gone two weeks

And he's down already with a job to seek

And he's in Kings Cross and there's no one speaking that

And I broke my heart

It broke my heart, it broke my heart

It broke my heart and I

Talked about it with the family now who

What began in sadness ended up a row

All the guys with the clever mouths

They were saying we should move south, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

It broke my heart, it broke my heart

It broke my heart, it broke my heart and I

Talked about it with the family now who

What began in sadness ended up a row

All the guys with the clever mouths

They were saying we should move south, yeah

Saw a man who was fifty one

He had married daughters and a single son

And he's lost his job as this years begun

And I broke my heart

It broke my heart, it broke my heart

It broke my heart, it broke my heart

It broke my heart, it broke my heart

It broke my heart

Just

It breaks your heart

It breaks your heart

It breaks your heart
