| - | |
| - | |
| We were playmates long together | A |
| By the brook and on the hill | B |
| In the golden summer weather | A |
| When the days were long and still | B |
| We were playmates in the firelight | C |
| While the winter eyes went by | D |
| And we shared one couch at midnight | C |
| My brother James and I | D |
| - | |
| We were schoolmates too together | A |
| In the after years that came | E |
| And in toil or task or pleasure | A |
| Ours was still one heart one aim | E |
| Hand in hand we struggled sunward | C |
| Toward fair Science' temple high | D |
| Aiding each the other onward | C |
| My brother James and I | D |
| - | |
| We were men at last together | A |
| Oh the well remembered time | F |
| When we left the dear old homestead | C |
| In our early manhood's prime | F |
| Even then not disunited | C |
| Went we forth with courage high | D |
| To one aim and effort plighted | C |
| My brother James and I | D |
| - | |
| But at length there came a shadow | C |
| Dark with signs of change and blight | C |
| Deep'ning silently but surely | G |
| To a long and tearful night | C |
| And beside a lonely river | A |
| That went darkly rushing by | D |
| Parted we but not forever | A |
| My brother James and I | D |
| - | |
| Not forever not forever | A |
| Though the stream is dark and wide | C |
| He is beck'ning to me ever | A |
| From the sun lit summer side | C |
| There the glory fadeth never | A |
| And I know that by and by | D |
| We shall tread that shore together | A |
| My brother James and I | D |
