Two Little Girls In Blue
Composer(s): Charles Graham



An old man gazed on a photograph
In a locket he'd worn for years
His nephew then asked him the reason why
That picture had caused him tears
"Come listen," he said, "I will tell you, lad
A story that's strange, but true!
Your father and I, at the school one day
Met two little girls in blue
That picture is one of those girls," he said
And to me she was once a wife
I thought her unfaithful, we quarrelled lad
And parted that night for life
My fancy of jealousy wronged a heart
A heart that was good and true 
For two better girls never lived than they
Those two little girls in blue"

Two little girls in blue, lad
Two little girls in blue
They were sisters, we were brothers
And learned to love the two
And one little girl in blue, lad
Who won your father's heart
Became your mother 
I married the other
And now we have drifted apart
