Two Brothers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
T'was on a pleasant summer's day
On a pleasant summer's day
When they marched along their way
A fife and drum began to play
There on a beautiful morning
One was gentle, one was kind
One was gentle, one was kind
One came home, one stay behind,
A cannon ball don't pay no mind
A cannon ball don't pay no mind
If you're gentle or you're kind
It don't think of the folks behind
There on a beautiful morning
Two girls waiting by the railroad track,
Two girls waiting by the railroad track
For their darlings to come back
One wore blue and wore black
One wore blue and wore black
Waiting by the railroad track
For their darlings to come back
There on a beautiful morning
