[Verse 1]
  G
Two little boys had two little toys

           G7       C
Each had a wooden horse

                      G
Gaily they played, on a summer’s day

   A               D
Warriors both of course

   G
One little chap then had a mishap

                G7     C
Broke off his horse's head

                   G
Wept for his toy, but cried with joy

     A               D     G
When he heard his brother say:
[Chorus 1]
    G                    C         G
"Did you think I would leave you crying

                         G7        C
When there's room on my horse for two?

                                     G
Climb up here, Jack, and stop your crying

       A                        D
We’ll mend up your horse with glue

       G                C         G
When we grow up, we'll both be soldiers

                    G7      C
And our horses will not be toys

                      G
And maybe you will remember

     A        D          G
When we were two little boys"
[Verse 2]
  G
Long years passed, war came at last

               G7     C
Bravely they marched away

                      G
Cannon roared loud, midst that wild crowd

         A                   D
Where wounded and dying Joe lay

 G
Then came a cry, a rider dashed by

                G7     C
Out from the ranks of blue

                   G
Galloped away to where Joe lay

     A               D     G
When he heard his brother say:
[Chorus 2]
    G                    C         G
"Did you think I would leave you dying

                         G7        C
When there's room on my horse for two?

                                     G
Climb up here, Jack, we'll soon be flying

         A                   D
To the ranks of the boys in blue

       G             C         G
Can’t you see Jack, I'm all a-tremble?

               G7             C
It may be the flash and the noise

                          G
Or it may be because I remember

      A       D          G
When we were two little boys"
