Two Little Girls In Blue

Two Little Girls In Blue - Hugo Duncan

An old man gazed on a photograph

In the locket he'd worn for years

His nephew then asked him the reason

Why that picture had cost him tears

Come listen he said

I will tell you my lad

A story that's strange but true

Your Father and I at the school one day

Met two little girls in blue

Two little girls in blue lad

Two little girls in blue

They were sisters we were brothers

And learned to love the two

And one little girls in blue lad

One your Father's heart

Became your Mother I married the other

And now we have drifted apart

That picture is one of those girls

He said And to me she once was a wife

I thought her unfaithful we quarrelled

Lad And we parted that night for life

My fancy of jealousy wronged a heart

A heart that was good and true

For two better girls never lived than they

Those two little girls in blue

Two little girls in blue lad

Two little girls in blue

They were sisters we were brothers

We learned to love the two

And one little girls in blue lad

One your Father's heart

Became your Mother I married the other

And now we have drifted apart
