Lyrics
Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
'Twas on a pleasant summers day
On a pleasant summers 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 stayed behind
A cannonball don't pay no mind
A cannonball 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 one wore black
One wore blue and one wore black
Waiting by the railroad track
For their darlings to come back
There on a beautiful morning
Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
'Twas on a pleasant summers day
On a pleasant summers 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 stayed behind
A cannonball don't pay no mind
A cannonball 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 one wore black
One wore blue and one wore black
Waiting by the railroad track
For their darlings to come back
There on a beautiful morning
