Greg Brown Two Little Boys Lyrics

Two Little Boys Lyrics

Two little boys, two little toys

each was a wooden horse.

Gaily they
played, each summer's day

Soldier boys, of course.

One little chap,
he had a mishap

and he broke off his horse's head,

Wept for his
toy, then cried with joy

when his young comrade said:

"Do you
think, Jack, I'd leave you crying

when there's room on my horse for
two?

Climb up, Jack, we'll soon be flying.

He can go just as fast
with two.

When we grow,we'll both be soldiers

and our horses won't
be toys,

And it may be, Jack, that we'll remember

when we were two
little boys."

The years quickly passed,

the war came at last'

and bravely the boys marched away.

Cannon roared loud, midst the mad
crowd

wounded and dying Jack lay.

When out rings a cry and a horse
dashes by

out of the ranks of the blue.

Dashes away to where Jack
lay

and a voice rang strong and true.



"Do you think Jack,
I'd could leave you dying

when there's room on my horse for two?

Climb up Jack, we'll soon be flying

He can go just as fast with
two.

Do you Jack, I'm all a tremble?

Perhaps it's the battles
noise-

Or maybe,Jack, that I remember

when we were two little
boys.
