TWO LITTLE BOYS

Recorded by The Country Gentlemen

Words and music by D. Hawkins & H. Hawkins

[C] Two Little Boys - had two little toys

Each had a [C7] wooden [F] horse

Gaily they played - each [C] summer day

[D] Warriors both - of [G] course

[C] One little chap - had a mishap

And broke off his [C7] horse's [F] head

Wept for his toy - then [C] cried with joy

When [D] he heard his [G] brother [C] say:

"Do you think I could [F] leave you [C] cryin'

When there's room on my [C7] horse for [F] you

Climb up here, Jack - you [C] stop your cryin'

We'll [D] mend up your horse with [G] glue

When we [C] grow up - we'll [F] both be [C] soldiers

Our horses will [C7] not be [F] toys

And maybe you will re-[C] member

When [D] we were [G] Two Little [C] 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."
