Two Brothers Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
Towards on a pleasant summer′s day

(On a pleasant summer's 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 wore black


(One wore blue and wore black)
Waiting by the railroad track
For their darlings to come back
There on a beautiful morning
