. . . photograph, In a locket he wore for years. His nephew asked him the reason why That picture caused him tears. He said, "I'll tell you the story, lad, A story that’s sad, but true. Your father and I, at school one day, Met two little girls in blue." Chorus: "Two little girls in blue, lad, Two little girls in blue. We went together in all kinds of weather; We learned to love them true. One little girl in blue, lad, Won your father’s heart. She is your mother; I married the other; But now we have drifted apart." "That picture is one of those girls, lad; To me she was once a wife. I thought her untrue, and we quarreled, lad, Then parted that night for life. A fancy of jealousy wronged a heart, A heart that was good and true. No better girls ever lived than they, Those two little girls in blue." (Chorus) Also found in Randolph, Vol. IV, #816. |
