G Two Little Boys - had two little toys G7 C Each had a wooden horse G Gaily they played - each summer day A D Warriors both - of course G One little chap - had a mishap G7 C broke off his horse's head G Wept for his toy - then cried with joy A D G When he heard his brother say: C G Do you think I could leave you cryin' G7 C When there's room on my horse for two G Climb up here, Jack - stop your cryin' A D We'll go just as fast with two G C G When we grow up - we'll both be soldiers G7 C Our horses will not be toys G And I wonder if we'll remember A D G When we were Two Little Boys." G Long years passed - war came so fast G7 C Bravely they marched away G Cannons roared loud and in the mad crowd A D wounded and dyin' - lay G Up comes a chout a horse dashes out G7 C Out from the ranks so Blue G Galloped away - to where Joe lay A D G Then came a voice he knew C G Did you think I would leave you dyin' G7 C When there's room on my horse for two G Climb up here, Joe - we'll soon be flyin' A D Home to the ranks so Blue G C G Can you see, Jack I'm all a-tremble G7 C Perhaps it's the battles noise G But I think it is that I remember A D G When we were two little boys.
