Arthur Francis – Two Little Girls In Blue lyrics

An old man gazed on a photograph, in the locket he'd worn for years;
His nephew then asked him the reason, Why that picture had cost him tears.
"Come listen," he said, "I will tell you, my lad, A story that's strange but true;
Your Father & I, at the school one day, met two little girls in blue.

Chorus
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,
but now we have drifted apart.

"That picture is one of those girls," he said, "And to me she once was a wife, I
thought her unfaithful, we quarreled, lad, And parted that night for life.
My fancy of jealousy wronged a heart, A heart that was good & true,
For two better girls never lived than they, those two little girls in blue."
