Now mommy and daddy, they live down the street

I could break out a window, oh lord i’d rather be dead

Cold winds a blowin, Oh the wind it howls

My mother and dad, they’re lost in the crowd

That's why I broke out a window, oh lord for one loaf of bread

I broke out a window, oh lord for one loaf of bread.

[Verse 3]
G C G
Three little graves just outside of town,
G G7
Where family and friends all gathered around
G7 G
To gaze at a stone, these words they have read
G D G
I'll break no more windows and steal no more bread
[Chorus]
G7 C G
I beggied an I cried for the other kids sake
G G7
Not a penny or nickel or a dime could I make.
G7 C G
A light shone down on the store up ahead,
G D G
I broke out a window, oh lord for one loaf of bread.
G D G C G
That's why I broke out a window, oh lord for one loaf of bread
