One more blue and one more gray
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 came home,
one stayed behind
A cannonball don't pay no mind All on a beautiful morning
A cannonball don't pay no mind Though you're gentle,
though you're kind
You don't thank the folks behind All on a beautiful morning
Two girls waiting down the railroad
track For their darlings to come back
One wore blue and one wore black All on a beautiful morning
