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 the way
  A 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
  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
  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
  All on a beautiful morning
    One wore blue, and one wore black
  Waiting by the railroad track
  For their darlings to come back
  All on a beautiful morning
    All on a beautiful morning
