Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
One wore blue and one wore grey
One wore blue and one wore grey
As they marched along the day
A fife and drum began to play
All on a beautiful morning
One was gentle, one was kind
One was gentle, one was kind
One went home, one stayed behind
A cannonball don't pay no mind
A cannonball don't pay no mind
If you're gentle, if you're kind
It don't think of the folks behind
All on a beautiful morning
Two girls waiting by the railroad track
Two girls waiting by the railroad track
Two girls waiting by the railroad track
One wore blue and one wore black
One wore blue and one wore black
Waiting by the railroad track
For their darlings to come back
All on a beautiful morning.
