Two little boys had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gailie they'd play each summer day
Warriors both of course One little chap had a mishap
Broke off his horse's head
Wept for his toy
Then cried out 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 Jack
And don't be crying
I can go just as fast with two When we grow up we'll be soldiers
And our horses will not be toys And I wonder if we'll remember
When we were two
little boys
Long
years
passed War came so fast
One fought the blue The other gray
Cannons roared loud And in the mad crowd
Wounded and dying they
Up comes the shout A horse dashes out
Out from the ranks so blue
And
he gallops away
To where Joe lay
Then came the voice he knew Did you think I could leave you dying
When there's room on my horse for two?
Climb up Joe We'll soon be flying
I can go just as fast with two Did you say Joe I'm all a-tremble
Well perhaps it's the battle noise But I think it's that I remember
When we were two
little boys
