Two Brothers

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