Two little boys had two little toys
each had a wooden horse
Gaily they`d play each summers day
warriors both of course
One little chap then had a mishap
broke off his horses head
Wept for his toy then cried with joy when his
young playmate said "Did 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 past 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. 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.
Did 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
