Two Little Boys - Rolf Harris

My mom loved to sing. Sometimes if I would ask her a question her answer would be with a song. She knew a song for any subject. I have included one of the songs I used to love to hear her sing.





Two Little Boys



Two little boys had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played each summer's day
Warriors both of course
One little chap then had a mishap
Broke off his horse's head
Wept for his toy then cried with joy
As his young playmate said


Did you think I would leave you crying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Jack and don't be crying
I can go just as fast with two
When we grow up we'll both be soldiers
And our horses will not be toys
And I wonder if we'll remember
When we were two little boys


Long years had passed, war came so fast
Bravely they marched away
Cannon roared loud, and in the mad crowd
Wounded and dying lay
Up goes a shout, a horse dashes out
Out from the ranks so blue
Gallops away to where Joe lay
Then came a voice he knew


Did you think I would leave you dying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Joe, we'll soon be flying
I can go just as fast with two
Did you say Joe I'm all a-tremble
Perhaps it's the battle's noise
But I think it's that I remember
When we were two little boys


Do you think I would leave you dying
There's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Joe, we'll soon be flying
Back to the ranks so blue
Can you feel Joe I'm all a tremble
Perhaps it's the battle's noise
But I think it's that I remember
When we were two little boys

I think it is so interesting that they list the addresses! They would never do that now...all the privacy issues!

Fun fact! I looked up the homes in South Gate...and there is currently an 1100 square foot home built in the 1940's that is for sale. It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath Hildreth Avenue. It is a bank owned foreclosure and is currently listed for $260,225!
