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, or 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
