Lyrics

1. 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 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

Refrain
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 we have drifted apart

2. 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
