Two Little Boys

Two Little Boys - Mary Carpenter/Morsell/Madden/Redwood

Two little boys had two little toys

Each had a wooden horse

Gaily they played each summers day

Warriors both of cause

One little chap then had a mishap

Broke off his horses head

Wept for his toy cried with joy

As his young playmate said

Did you think I would leave you crying

When there's room on my horse for two

Climb up here Jack and don't be crying

I can go just as fast with two

When we grow up we'll both be soliders

And our horses will not be toys

And I wonder if we'll remember when we were

Two little boys

Long years past war came so fast

Bravely they marched away

Cannon roared loud and in the mad crowd

Wounded and dieing lie up goes a shout

A horse dashes out out from the ranks so blue

Gallops away to where Joe lay

Then came a voice he know

Did you think I would leave you dieing

When there's room on my horse for two

Climb up here Joe we'll soon be flying

I can go just as fast with two

Did you say Joe I'm all a tremble

Perhaps it's the battles noise

But I thinks its that I remember when we were two little boys

Do you think I would leave you dieing

There's room on my horse for two

Climb up here Joe we'll soon be flying

Back to the ranks so blue

Can you feel Joe I'm all a tremble

Perhaps it's the battles noise

But I think its that I remember when we were two little boys
