This is an old song we sang at school, about two lil boys.?
Doe's anyone know the lyrics to this song, and who composed it?
I'ts about two little boys, I think it's an english song. A question was asked "what song makes you cry when you hear it" the last verse of this song always made my eyes well up.
One verse is -Did you think I would leave you crying when there's room on my horse for two............. And the last verse is - Did you think I would leave you dying............
Thanks Brett.

TWO LITTLE BOYS
1. Two little boys
Had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played
On a summer day
Warriors both of course
One little chap
Had a mishap
Broke of his horse's head
Wept for his toy
But cried with joy
When he heard his brother say:
(Chorus)
Do you think I could leave you crying
When there's room on my horse for you
Climb up here Jack and stop your crying
We'll mend up your horse with glue
When we grow up we'll both be soldiers
And our toys will not be toys
And maybe you will remember
When we were two little boys
2. Long years had passed
War came at last
Bravely they marched away
Cannons roared loud
Midst 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
And he heard his brother say
Chorus:
Do you think I could leave you dying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up dear Joe we'll soon be flying
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 it may be because I remember
When we were two little boys

"Two Little Boys"
Two little boys had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played on a summer's day
Warriors both of course (note 1)
One little chap had a mishap
Broke off his horse's head
Wept for his toy but cried for joy
When he heard his brother say
Do you think I could leave you crying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up behind and stop your crying
We'll mend up your horse with glue
When we grow up we'll both be soldiers
And our horses will not be toys
And maybe you will remember
When we were two little boys
Long years had passed, war came at last
Bravely they marched away
Cannons roared loud amid that bright 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
And he heard his brother say
Do you think I could leave you dying
When there's room on my horse fo you
Climb up here Joe, we'll soon be flying (note 2)
To the ranks of the boys in blue
Can't you see Jack that I'm all a-tremble
It may be the flash and the noise
Or it may be because I remember
When we were two little boys
Don't know who composed it,sorry.
