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
