Lyrics:
Two brothers on their way Two brothers on their way Two brothers on their way T'was on a pleasant summer's day On a pleasant summer's day When they marched along their way A fife and drum began to play There on a beautiful morning One was gentle, one was kind One was gentle, one was kind One came home, one stay behind, A cannon ball don't pay no mind A cannon ball don't pay no mind If you're gentle or you're kind It don't think of the folks behind There on a beautiful morning Two girls waiting by the railroad track, Two girls waiting by the railroad track For their darlings to come back One wore blue and wore black One wore blue and wore black Waiting by the railroad track For their darlings to come back There on a beautiful morning |
