G5
Two Little Boys - had two little toys 
           G5     C5
Each had a wooden horse  
                         G5
Gaily they played - each summer day  
A5                   D5
 Warriors both - of course 
G5
 One little chap - had a mishap 
                  G5      C5
And broke off his horse's head  
                        G5
Wept for his toy - then cried with joy  
     A5            D5       G5
When he heard his brother say: 
                      C5         G5
"Do you think I could leave you cryin' 
                        G5        C5
When there's room on my horse for you  
                          G5
Climb up here, Jack - you stop your cryin'  
      A5                       D5
We'll mend up your horse with glue 
        G5               C5       G5
When we grow up - we'll both be soldiers 
                G5     C5
Our horses will not be toys  
                      G5
And maybe you will re-member  
     A5       D5          G5
When we were Two Little Boys." 
 
Long years have passed - war came at last 

Bravely they marched away 

Cannons roared loud and in that wild crowd 

Where wounded and dyin' - Joe lay 

Then came a cry - a rider dashed by 

Out from the ranks of Blue 

Galloped away - to where Joe lay 

Then he heard his brother say: 
 
Do you think I could leave you dyin' 

When there's room on my horse for two 

Climb up here, Joe - we'll soon be flyin' 

To the ranks of the boys in Blue 

Can't you see, Jack I'm all a-tremble 

It may be the flash and the noise 

Or maybe because I remember 

When we were two little boys.
