Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
One wore blue and one wore grey
One wore blue and one wore grey
As they marched along their way
The fife and drum began to play
All 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 if you're kind
It don't think of the folks behind
All on a beautiful morning
Two girls waitin' by the railroad track
Two girls waitin' by the railroad track
For their darlin's to come back
One wore blue and one wore black
One wore blue and one wore black
Waiting by the railroad track
For their darlin's to come back
All on a beautiful morning
All on a beautiful morning...
