C
Two little boys had two little toys
C7 F
Each had a wooden horse
C
Gaily they played each summer's day
D G
Warriors both of course
C
One little chap then had a mishap
C7 F
Broke off his horse's head
C
Wept for his toy then cried with joy
D G
As his young playmate said
C
Did you think I would leave you crying
C7 F
When there's room on my horse for two
C
Climb up here Jack and don't be crying
D G
I can go just as fast with two
C
When we grow up we'll both be soldiers
C7 F
And our horses will not be toys
D
And I wonder if we'll remember
G C
When we were two little boys
C
Long years had passed, war came so fast
C7 F
Bravely they marched away
C
Cannon roared loud, and in the mad crowd
D G
Wounded and dying lay
C
Up goes a shout, a horse dashes out
C7 F
Out from the ranks so blue
C
Gallops away to where Joe lay
D G
Then came a voice he knew
C
Did you think I would leave you dying
C7 F
When there's room on my horse for two
C
Climb up here Joe, we'll soon be flying
D G
I can go just as fast with two
C
Did you say Joe I'm all a-tremble
C7 F
Perhaps it's the battle's noise
D
But I think it's that I remember
G C
When we were two little boys
C
Do you think I would leave you dying
C7 F
There's room on my horse for two
C
Climb up here Joe, we'll soon by flying
D G
Back to the ranks so blue
C
Can you feel Joe I'm all a tremble
C7 F
Perhaps it's the battle's noise
D
But I think it's that I remember
G C
When we were two little boys
