FDown in a lane two men had C7quarrelled
Over a girl whom they Gmboth C7adFmired
Brothers in name but F7foes in B♭feeling
B♭mPassion, aFlas, their C7hearts had Ffired
COne said “You traitor, you G7stole her from Cme
Hence-forth a stranger to G7England I'll Cbe”
”AmIf we must Empart” said the FoC7ther with pain
“FmDon't part like Fthis, we may G7ne'er meet C7again
For Fold time's sake, don't let our enmity C7live
For old time's sake, say you'll forget and forFgive
F6Life's too short to quarrel, hearts too precious to B♭break
GmShake B♭m6hands and Flet us be D7friends, for G7old C7times' Fsake
Anger prevailed, as foes they parted
Parted as brothers have often done
Jack sailed away to drown his sorrow
And left Tom at home with the bride he'd won
Twelve months after, and then he was left
Left with a babe of its Mother bereft
How like she grew to her, when he revealed
The cause of the quarrel, and how he appealed
Time rolled away, then the brothers one day
Met face to face, and then turned away
But the little peacemaker, their rough hands she grasped
And whispered so softly as their fingers she clasped
“In her sainted name, who looks down from above
My own angel mother you both used to love
