Verse 1: The little toy dog is covered with dust And sturdy and staunch he stands And the little tin soldier is red with rust And the musket molds in his hands Time was when the little dog was new And the soldier was passing fair Ah, but that was when Our LIttle Boy Blue Kissed them and put them there
CHORUS: 'Don't you go till I come,' he said 'And don't you make any noise.' So toddling off to his trundle bed He dreamt of the pretty toys But as he was dreaming an angel's song awakened Our Little Boy Blue Oh, the years are many The years are long But the little toy friends are true
Verse 2: Faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand Each one in the same old place Awaiting the touch of a little hand And the smile of a little face Sure they wonder as waiting the long year through In the dust of that little chair What has become of Our Little Boy Blue Since he kissed them and put them there?
