Two Brothers

Irving Gordon

[Intro, Spoken]
The Civil War tore a nation in half
From cities to villages
From families to brothers
This is a story of two brothers
Who rode their separate ways
To fight and die for what they believed in
Right or wrong, blue or grey
All were Americans

[Verse 1]
Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
One wore blue, and one wore grey

[Verse 2]
One wore blue and one wore grey
As they marched along their way
A fife and drum began to play
All on a beautiful mornin'

[Verse 3]
One was gentle, one was kind
One was gentle, one was kind
One came home, one stayed behind
Cannonball don't pay no mind

[Verse 4]
Cannonball don't pay no mind
Or you're gentle or you're kind
Won't think of the folks you behind
All on a beautiful mornin'

[Verse 5]
Two girls waitin' by the railroad track
Two girls waitin' by the railroad track
Two girls waitin' by the railroad track
One wore blue, and one wore black

[Verse 6]
One wore blue, and one wore black
Waitin' there by the railroad track
For their darlings to come back
All on a beautiful mornin' (All on a beautiful mornin', all on a beautiful mornin')
