Two little boys
had two little toys
Each had a
wooden horse
Gaily they played
each summer's 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
Do 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
Do you see 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 could
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
