Kenny Rogers - Two Little Boys lyrics

rate me

Two little boys had two little toys

Each had a wooden horse

Gaily they played each summer day

Warriors both of course.

One little chap had a mishap

Broke off his horse's head

Wept for his toy and cried without joy

As his younger brother said.

Do you think I would leave you crying

When there's room on my horse for two

Climb up here Jack and top your riding

I can go just as fast with two.

When we grow up we'll be soldiers

And our horses will not be toys

and I wonder we’ll remember

When we were two little boys.

Long years has passed, war came so fast

and gaily they marched away

Cannons roared loud and in the mad crowd

wounded and dying Jack lay.

Out comes a shot, a horse dashes out

Out from the ranks so blue

and it gallopes away to where Jack lay

and a voice came strong and true

Do you think I could leave you dying

When there's room on my horse for two

Climb up here Jack we'll soon be flying

I can go just as fast with two

Do you say, Joe, I hope a-tremble

well perhaps is the battle noise

but I think it’s that I remember

When we were two little boys.

Thanks to Dad song this song to us in the 50's for these lyrics
