Two Little Boys

Two little boys had two little toys
 Each had a wooden horse
 Gaily they played, each summers day
 Warriors both of course
 One little chap then had a mishap
 Broke off his horse's head
 Wept for his toy, then cried 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 here, Jack, and don't be crying
 I can go just as fast with two
 When we grow up, we'll both 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
 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 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, we'll soon be flying
 I can go just as fast with two
 Did you say, 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"
 Did you think I would leave you dying?
 There's room on my horse for two
 Climb up here Joe, we'll 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 it's that I remember
 When we were two little boys
