A boy called Jannie and a boy called John, Soldieres both of course

The Boere seuntjie Jannie galloped too fast, broke off his horses head
Em Am D Em
He wept for his toy, but then he cried for joy, when he heard his little English friend say
G Em G Em Am
Did you think I would leave you crying, when there's room on my horse for you
C D G Am D
Come up here Jannie now and stop your crying, we'll mend your horse with glue
G Em G Em Am
When we grow up we'll both be soldiers, and our horses will not be toys

Then perhaps we'll remember, when we were two litle boys

Long years past, war came at last, bravely they both marched away

Canon roared loud in that wild crowd, where wounded and dying John lay

Out from the ranks a rider did ride, out from the ranks of the boers.

Did you think I would leave you dying, when there's room on my horse for two
C D G Am D
Come up here John and soon we'll be flying, together we'll get through
