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............

Update:

Thanks Brett.

    good song

    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.
