When We Were Little Boys

                    Billy Murray, 1st singer

Two little boys had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played each summer's day
Warriors both of course

One little chap then had a mishap
Broke off his horse's head
Wept for his toy then cried with joy
As 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 had passed, war came so fast
Bravely they marched away
Cannon 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

Do you think I would leave you dying
There's room on my horse for two
Climb up here, Joe, we'll soon by flying
Back to the ranks so blue

Can you feel, 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
