Saw a POST somewhere recently of a request for these lyrics. Don't recall where/who at the moment.
So here they are, give or take a word or two! Fast paced little ditty.

TWO LITTLE BOYS - Recorded by The Country Gentlemen
Words and music by Hawkins & Hawkins

Two Little Boys - had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played - each summer day
Warriors both - of course
One little chap - had a mishap
And broke off his horse's head
Wept for his toy - then cried with joy
When he heard his brother say:

"Do you think I could leave you cryin'
When there's room on my horse for you
I love you Jack - you stop your cryin'
We'll mend up your horse with glue
When we grow up - we'll both be soldiers
Our horses will not be toys
And maybe you will remember
When we were Two Little Boys."

Long years have passed - war came at last
Bravely they marched away
Cannons roared loud and in that wild crowd
Where wounded and dying - Joe lay
Then came a cry - a rider dashed by
Out from the ranks of Blue
Galloped away - to where Joe lay
Then he heard his brother say:

"Do you think I could leave you dying
When there's room on my horse for two
I love you Joe - we'll soon be flyin'
To the ranks of the boys in Blue
Can't you see Jack? I'm all a-tremble
It may be the flash and the noise
Or maybe because I remember
When we were Two Little Boys."
