Two little boys had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played each summer’s day
Warriors both of course
Then one little chap had himself a mishap
Broke off his horse’s head
Cried for his toy then for joy
When he heard what his brother said…
Did you think I’d leave you crying?
When there’s room on my horse for two
Climb up here Jack and don’t be crying
She 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 had passed war came so fast
Bravely they marched away
Cannons 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
Galloped away to where Joe lay
Then came a voice he knew…
Did you think I’d 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 a fast with two
What’d 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’d leave you dying?
When 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
But it’s not from the battle’s noise
I think it’s that I remember
When we were two little boys
When we were two little boys
