Gentlemen Country - Two Little Boys lyrics

rate me

[G] Two Little Boys - had two little toys

Each had a [G7] wooden [C] horse

Gaily they played - each [G] summer day

[A] Warriors both - of [D] course

[G] One little chap - had a mishap

And broke off his [G7] horse's [C] head

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

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

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

When there's room on my [G7] horse for [C] you

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

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

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

Our horses will [G7] not be [C] toys

And maybe you will re-[G] member

When [A] we were [D] Two Little [G] 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.
