Two little boys had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gately they'd play each summer's day
Warriors both of course
Then one little chap then had a mishap
Broke off his horse's head
Wept for his toy and cried with joy
As his 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 him too
When we grow up we'll both be sergeants
And our horses will not be toys
And I wonder if we'll remember
That we'll be friends

When we were two little boys
Long years passed
War came so fast
Bravely they marched away
Cannon roared loud
And in the mad crowd
Wounded and dying lay
Up goes a shout
A horse dashes out
Out from the ranks so blue
Gallops so loud
Away to where Joe lay
Then came a voice he knew
Did you think I would leave you dying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Joe will soon be flying
Back to the ranks so blue
Can you feel Joe I'm all a-tremble
Perhaps it's the battle's noise
But I think I'm all a-tremble
It's that I remember
When we were two little boys
Can you feel Joe I'm all a-tremble
Perhaps it's the battle's noise
But I think it's that I remember
When we were two little boys
