The Irish Rovers — Two Little Boys

Two little boys had two little toys Each had a wooden horse Gaily they played, one summers day Warriors both, of course One little chap He had a mishap He broke off his horses head And he wept for his toy But then he laughed for joy Whenever his brother said Do you think I would leave you crying When there's room on me horse for two So climb up here Joe and stop your crying While I can mend your horse with glue When we grow up we'll both be soldiers And our horses will not be toys And then maybe Joe we'll remember When we were two little boys 10 years have passed and the war came so fast And bravely they marched away And a cannon roared loud, in the wild crowd Where wounded, and dying Joe lay Then comes a cry and a horse dashes by Out from the ranks of the blue It galloped away, to where Joe lay And then came a voice he knew; Do you think I would leave you dying When there's room on me horse for two So climb up here Joe we'll soon be flying Sure I can go as fast with two *spoken You see Joe, I'm all a tremblin' And it might be bullets and the noise But I think it's because I remember When we were two little boys Yes I think it's because I remember When we were two little boys
