Artist/Band: Harry Belafonte
Lyrics for Song: Two Brothers
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Harry Belafonte



Two brothers on their way


Two brothers on their way


Two brothers on their way


One wore blue, and one wore grey





One wore blue and one wore grey


As they marched along the way


A fife and drum began to play


All on a beautiful morning





One was gentle, one was kind


One was gentle, one was kind


One came home, one stayed behind


A cannonball don't pay no mind





A cannonball don't pay no mind


Though you're gentle or you're kind


It don't think of the folks behind


All on a beautiful morning





Two girls waiting by the railroad track


Two girls waiting by the railroad track


For their darlings to come back


One wore blue, and one wore black





One wore blue, and one wore black


Waiting by the railroad track


For their darlings to come back


All on a beautiful morning





One wore blue, and one wore black


Waiting by the railroad track


For their darlings to come back


All on a beautiful morning





All on a beautiful morning


Two Brothers

Harry Belafonte's 'Two Brothers' stands as a quintessential example of his mastery over Caribbean folk and calypso rhythms. As a defining track from his extensive discography, the song showcases his signature vocal style, blending rhythmic percussion with storytelling lyrics that celebrate the bond between siblings. Belafonte helped popularize these sounds in the United States during the 1950s and 60s, making this recording a staple of his catalog. The piece exemplifies the genre's focus on community and family, delivered with the warmth and authority that made him a cultural icon. It remains a representative work of his contributions to American music history and the broader tradition of island folk songs.
