It Broke My Heart

Lyrics

Saw a man who was fifty-one He had married daughters and a single son And he's lost his job as this year's begun And it broke my heart 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 it broke my heart Talked about it with the family now What began in sadness ended up a row All the guys with the clever mouths Who are 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 theres no-one speaking And it broke my heart
