Two Little Boys

VERSE 1
O say, brother Willie can ya catch a ball
Can you throw a stone
No, brother Johnny, I am too little
An' please, brother, leave me alone

VERSE 2
Johnny, pulled out his little knife
It was keen an' sharp
Drew it at little Wille's short ribs
An' pierced 'im thru th heart

VERSE 3
Say, brother Johnny, come pick me up
Come an' lay me straight
Say, brother Johnny, please carry me home
And bury me at th gate

VERSE 4
You see Mother, when you go home
She looks un-concerned
Tell 'er I'm gone to th old camp-ground
My prayer books for to learn
