This was my grandads funeral song and today is the first time in 5 months that I’ve managed to listen to this without crying, still teary eyed but I’m so glad I have this song to remember the good stuff now instead of just crying and having panic attacks. If you’re reading this, just know Ian Cameron was the kindest man to walk this earth, and he has leave the biggest mark. He took in so many struggling children and teens who some would argue didn’t deserve a chance, but they always got one from him. He taught us all that family doesn’t mean blood. And thanks to him, everyone he knew was kinder and more patient. Kindness is contagious and he spread it like the plague. If you’ve read to here, thank you for taking the time to understand just a small bit of the man he was, and Remember to show kindness to others so they can pass it on. I’m definitely crying now but at least I got through the song
Because, as an Irish boy 4 years old, living in Ireland, I started to form my first impressions of Australia a mystical land far away! Even at that age I had heard about war, I had a younger brother and some friends, this song let me imagine what it would be like if I lost my brother or my friends! 😢
Despite his crimes, this was a very emotive song about brother hood and leaving no one behind. It was part of my life growing up. We can't change History, nor should we cancel it.
Was one of the biggest selling songs of 1969, spending a month at no.1, was regularly played on radio stations throughout the 1970s and most of the 80s
Always reminds me of the old James Stewart film Shenadoah...when his youngest son meet his old friend on the battlefield...and they are on opposite sides.
@@soys8834HAHAHAHAHA yes indeed. But listen, my entire childhood an a big chunk of my youth was filled with his songs. I knew many of them by heart already back then in the 70’s as a child. It’s like if your own dad (heaven forbid) was that pedo, and you disassociate yourself from him, you would still be sad when he’s gone. Pardon the analogy. Just making a point
I'm conflicted here - I grew up thinking this man was a legend, a kind and gentle bloke, an illusion which was crushed in some way but at the same time, this is a beautiful song, very moving :(
It's still a fantastic song which you can forever cherish. In the exact same way it's possible to enjoy the wonderful novel that is "The Picture of Dorian Gray" without condoning the seedier aspects of its author's lifestyle.
@@bigverybadtom I'm aware of that and thanks. Sometimes an artist who didn't pen a tune can become the one most associated with it especially if he/she trumps the original version. A case in point might be Whitney Houston's "I will always love you," which spent much longer in the number one spot than Dolly Parton's original. I grew up with Rolf's version of this wonderful tune as did a lot of the posters on this video and it still means as much to me now as it did when I was in primary school. Take care.
I used to sing this to my two sons at bedtime. They were 18 months apart. Always thought of this man in high regard growing up. So sad it turned out as it did 😢
Darwin, Australia, 'bout Feb/Mar, 1976. Cyclone Tracy had wrecked the place. Rolf was doin' a show in the Botanic gardens, Darwin was rooted!. Dead set, Rolf Harris owned us that night. I was 'bout 20'FT from him, he put on a bloody brilliant show. He took every single man away from wrecked houses, cars, dead people, heat, humidity, sweat, fuckin' mossies, no women, not all bad though, we still had cold beer. Then he sang 'Two Little Boys". Dead set, not a dry eye in the house. Then,
Was in Darwin as a child left 2 weeks before cyclone Tracey remember it well ,it's 1 am woke up wth the song in my head loved it back then love it now miss my dad singing this to me teary as . Thanks for the memories x
Ok, do you throw out the art because the artist has disappointed you or has erred? Sinatra had mob links and was a prick to those he didn't fawn over or who weren't famous, but it doesn't mean Sinatra wasn't a brilliant performer and recording star.
I remember my brother and I singing this beautiful song when we were both 6 & 5 respectively. It brings a tear to my eye as my younger brother is now dead. So sad !!!! So sad!!!!!!
I can't help but feel nostalgic for this song! Rolf Harris (who passed away recently at 93) was undeniably a talented entertainer, and it's such a shame that our memories of him are now tarnished! ... Ditto Jimmy Sa-vile! ... Why do such people wilfully ruin their own reputations? It's so sad, but let's not forget their victims!
Nice comment Christy, same in my family with my grandad, ignore the moron, when he has to pay his own bills instead of relying on mummy maybe he'll realize that being an arsehole costs nothing except his self-respect...I won't hold my breath though.
Arguably one of the most famous Australian singers who wasn't in Neighbours or Home and Away, until his arrest for unmentionable crimes a few years back.
Me and my best friend. We grew up together and my grandpa showed me this song as a kid and one night drinking. Me and my best friend who was a brother to me. We listened to this song and joked how this was us. He died a month later in a car accident. I listen to it every now and then and try to remember how it was when we were two little boys sharing Xbox controllers. I miss him
Two Little Boys Rolf Harris Two little boys had two little toys Each had a wooden horse Gaily they played each summer's day Warriors both of course One little chap then had a mishap Broke off his horse's head Wept for his toy then cried with joy As his young playmate said Did you think I would leave you crying When there's room on my horse for two Climb up here Jack and don't be crying I can go just as fast with two When we grow up we'll both be soldiers And our horses will not be toys And I wonder if we'll remember When we were two little boys Long years had passed, war came so fast Bravely they marched away Cannon roared loud, and in the mad crowd Wounded and dying lay Up goes a shout, a horse dashes out Out from the ranks so blue Gallops away to where Joe lay Then came a voice he knew Did you think I would leave you dying When there's room on my horse for two Climb up here Joe, we'll soon be flying I can go just as fast with two Did you say Joe I'm all a-tremble Perhaps it's the battle's noise But I think it's that I remember When we were two little boys Do you think I would leave you dying There's room on my horse for two Climb up here Joe, we'll soon by flying Back to the ranks so blue Can you feel Joe I'm all a tremble Perhaps it's the battle's noise But I think it's that I remember When we were two little boys Songwriters: Alan Braden / Edward Madden / Theodore Morse

For all that has happened it has nothing to do with the fact that Rolf was Englands no. 1 entertainer for many years. I'm saddened by this issue but wonder how many more are there in the wings. I shall not stop listening to the music because of this.

I was canoeing down a river today and passed 2 fishermen and started singing this at them. Although they laughed I feel bad about it now. The song came into my mind when my mate made me slow down for them. lol

this had to be the biggest shock of all. It just shows how clever and manipulative Harris was over the years. He deserves to spend the rest of his life in jail. My heart goes out to his wife and family
And if he died earlier we would never have known. disappointed is an understatement. But I say this, relatives older that have passed loved this song. As fked up as he is, this song will hold a place. Now I just try to forget the guy singing it.
Met Lord Rolf twice. Once when I was a nipper and all he asked me was if I told my mummy and daddy everything. Met him again when I was uni, he was having a sing-song on a train. When I refused to sing the 4th verse of Tie Me Kangaroo Down he cornered me in the lavs and thread to jam him bacon butty up me jacksie, and the look in his eye let me know he’d have enjoyed it. Still great cartoons and a gent.
I heard Harris talking about the time this song was presented to him. He said to the dude, "ok, play it." As the guy was singing the first verse, Rolf was thinking, "eh, yeah, nice ditty; whatever; eh, maybe, I dunno", but when the guy sang the "did you think I would leave you dying when there's room on my horse for two?", Harris said it really grabbed him emotionally and made all the hairs on his back stand up.
Too many people think this is a Rolf Harris song. It was written by American composer Theodore F. Morse and lyricist Edward Madden. It was written in 1902 and became a popular music hall song of the time, as sung by Harry Lauder.
when i was 15, someone close to me died of brain cancer and an aneurysm. he took care of me. he was a twin. this was played at his funeral. i’m an adult now. i’ve been trying to find this song for ages. RIP R, hope you’re doing okay if there’s some sort of afterlife
It has an interesting back story. This was actually a song that was sung to RH by an native Aboriginal. when he was about to do a show on TV he decided to use this song but couldn't remember the lyrics so called Australia to his Aboriginal friend to sing it again and then went out and performed it live on TV. It was a song from the Victorian era that was taught to the natives and passed down over time
gut wrenching. my dear sons five treat your women with dignity they are the chalice from which you became. the art the artist and the underlying ethos of the artist that delivered the art. Andrew Hibberd
i love this song, remember it from a child and always will its not only the famous and some of us dont ever get justice we just carry the sentance ........................
You do not deserve to go down for 5 years and 9 months for what you did. You are just a scapegoat for all the nasty, vindictive, anonymous people out there who want revenge not justice. I will stand by you until the end. I do not believe that you are a pervert. "Did you think I would leave you dying...?" No, I will be with you until the end, Rolf, because you were just human and served as a punch bag for all our moral hypocrisy. May God have mercy on us....
Little Asian Penis Well, who says? You don't think Adolf Hitler's paintings are collectable? Wasn't he mainly a grab n feel merchant? I haven't heard he raped anybody.
Very upsetting song when I was little - my mum had to turn the radio off every time it came on. Can just about handle it now as a story of human kindness and cooperation.
@user-kz4ke8mg4r But it's an old music hall song and it was an old song even when Rolf Harris did it. Even though he was terrible person that doesn't mean we can't still like his music. Gary Glitter and Michael Jackson were also peadophiles yet their music was still great.
It's the same with certain sportsmen: BRILLIANT in their field, but you get them outside their area of expertise... For example, one of the best AFL footballers of his generation, Wayne Carey was brilliant on the field, but off the field he was caught having an affair... with his *best friend's & his Captain's wife.* (one person) As I said brilliant on the field, but I would trust him with a 10c piece elsewhere!
Just so you know he didn’t write the song. It was written for WW1. "Two Little Boys" is a song written by American composer Theodore F. Morse and lyricist Edward Madden. It was written in 1902. This song has nothing to do with what he did.
Nobody appears to have listened to the lyrics of this song. It's about two brothers who grow up to fight alongside one another in the American Civil War. Rolf was into little girls, not boys.
Yes, also grew up with him as a legend, associated with childrens tv and radio. On one hand he was seriously multi talented and entertaining, and on the other, a sex predator. Hard to recomcile. We all have good and bad in us, his were more extreme. Imagine he suffered greatly when outed, and rightly so.
As much of a monster he was off-screen, I *still* can't help but feel a bit sad at his passing. On screen, he was *such* a marvellous entertainer. He choose to get his own reputation tarnished and thus next to none will mourn him now, especially as he had *no* remorse for his actions till his dying day. My thoughts are for his victims.
he touched so many hearts it's just a shame that that's not the only thing he touched
So much talent wasted on a sicko like that
🙈🙈🙈😄😄😄😉
Jimmys evil effected those around him, once they where hooked, Uncle Jimmy had all the control.

Two Little Boys
Rolf Harris
Two little boys had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played each summer's day
Warriors both of course
One little chap then had a mishap
Broke off his horse's head
Wept for his toy then cried with joy
As his young playmate said
Did you think I would leave you crying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Jack and don't be crying
I can go just as fast with two
When we grow up we'll both be soldiers
And our horses will not be toys
And I wonder if we'll remember
When we were two little boys
Long years had passed, war came so fast
Bravely they marched away
Cannon roared loud, and in the mad crowd
Wounded and dying lay
Up goes a shout, a horse dashes out
Out from the ranks so blue
Gallops away to where Joe lay
Then came a voice he knew
Did you think I would leave you dying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Joe, we'll soon be flying
I can go just as fast with two
Did you say Joe I'm all a-tremble
Perhaps it's the battle's noise
But I think it's that I remember
When we were two little boys
Do you think I would leave you dying
There's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Joe, we'll soon by flying
Back to the ranks so blue
Can you feel Joe I'm all a tremble
Perhaps it's the battle's noise
But I think it's that I remember
When we were two little boys
Songwriters: Alan Braden / Edward Madden / Theodore Morse
I remember being 6 years old in 1979 and the class singing this for our teacher. Part of my cherished childhood is now defiled and soiled...

I still love this song no matter what he did in his private life...its only a song.
Which Rolf Harris did not write. It is an old World War One song and others have sung it as well.
Met Lord Rolf twice. Once when I was a nipper and all he asked me was if I told my mummy and daddy everything. Met him again when I was uni, he was having a sing-song on a train. When I refused to sing the 4th verse of Tie Me Kangaroo Down he cornered me in the lavs and thread to jam him bacon butty up me jacksie, and the look in his eye let me know he’d have enjoyed it. Still great cartoons and a gent.
RIP Rolf.
Really
REST IN HELL W T F
I love this song still,am I wrong?
no your not. you have to remember Rolf worked at the Nest of Pervs otherwise known as the BBC , so was under duress to become a Perv just to fit in .
When I was a kid I saw Rolf's didgeridoo.
I blew on it
+RandomScumbag Did he even teach you lessons as well?
fuck off
When I was kid rolf saw my didgeridoo.
When I was a kid rolf played a tune on my bongos and I blew on his didgeridoo.
I heard Harris talking about the time this song was presented to him. He said to the dude, "ok, play it." As the guy was singing the first verse, Rolf was thinking, "eh, yeah, nice ditty; whatever; eh, maybe, I dunno", but when the guy sang the "did you think I would leave you dying when there's room on my horse for two?", Harris said it really grabbed him emotionally and made all the hairs on his back stand up.
He claimed the little girls did the same
Too many people think this is a Rolf Harris song. It was written by American
composer Theodore F. Morse and lyricist Edward Madden. It was written in
1902 and became a popular music hall song of the time, as sung by
Harry Lauder.
Who cares?
Titch Moynihan the point he was making is that it's okay to still like the song
BEST LOOK INTO SEX CRIMES 4 THEM 2 THEN
It's ours now dude, sorry
Such a beautieful track
when i was 15, someone close to me died of brain cancer and an aneurysm. he took care of me. he was a twin. this was played at his funeral. i’m an adult now. i’ve been trying to find this song for ages.
RIP R, hope you’re doing okay if there’s some sort of afterlife
Well you cant have looked very bloody hard.
Would R be Rolf himself,by any chance? 🤨
@@onlinefriend3889 no, why?
@@joedent3323 i couldn’t properly remember the lyrics, and i ended up with different songs
Rip rolf
I met Rolf years ago,i said was it you who did two little boys,no he said it was Saville.
Lol, good one!
It has an interesting back story. This was actually a song that was sung to RH by an native Aboriginal. when he was about to do a show on TV he decided to use this song but couldn't remember the lyrics so called Australia to his Aboriginal friend to sing it again and then went out and performed it live on TV. It was a song from the Victorian era that was taught to the natives and passed down over time
Yeah thats bollocks mate. 2 little boys was Rolf trying to hide in plain sight
I still like this song .
His conviction gives a whole new meaning to 'Two little boys had two 'little toys''....and....'gayly they played, each summers day'
He tried to tell us all those years ago, there's room on his horse for 2 😢
gut wrenching. my dear sons five treat your women with dignity they are the chalice from which you became. the art the artist and the underlying ethos of the artist that delivered the art.
Andrew Hibberd
Sweet little tune.
i love this song, remember it from a child and always will
its not only the famous and some of us dont ever get justice we just carry the sentance ........................
You do not deserve to go down for 5 years and 9 months for what you did. You are just a scapegoat for all the nasty, vindictive, anonymous people out there who want revenge not justice. I will stand by you until the end. I do not believe that you are a pervert. "Did you think I would leave you dying...?" No, I will be with you until the end, Rolf, because you were just human and served as a punch bag for all our moral hypocrisy. May God have mercy on us....
EH?!!!!! What planet are you on?
Are you nuts smith, they just found kiddie porn on his laptop, wait till the 2 little boys give evidence?
Still happening today woman blaming men for there own problems cry rape when ever wtf is wrong wth women of today
@@TheScunneredManExactly. Deff not of this planet 😅
YOUR AS SICK AS HE WAS
All his songs take on new meaning nowadays: Tie Me Kangaroo Down Spurt, Two Little Boys, Jake The Pegger, Son Arise Early In The Morning.
People have died thinking this man was a legend.
Little Asian Penis Well, if they have, they're dead and none the wiser!
Bought one of his paintings in the 90s thinking the value would increase upon his death, now painting is worthless god damn kiddy fiddler
Little Asian Penis Well, who says? You don't think Adolf Hitler's paintings are collectable? Wasn't he mainly a grab n feel merchant? I haven't heard he raped anybody.
***** Well, Pastor Mario Lanza: Rolf is just a pussy cat! Mioaw|!
Rolf Harris What about Colonel bucket?
Very upsetting song when I was little - my mum had to turn the radio off every time it came on. Can just about handle it now as a story of human kindness and cooperation.
I feel guilty because I love this song so much.
You're a silly billy. A great song, is a great song. End Of.
You do know Rolf Harris didn't write this song?
It's an Old Music Hall song.
@user-kz4ke8mg4r But it's an old music hall song and it was an old song even when Rolf Harris did it.
Even though he was terrible person that doesn't mean we can't still like his music. Gary Glitter and Michael
Jackson were also peadophiles yet their music was still great.
I don’t understand how some of the most kind and beautiful singers end up committing horrible crimes
It's the same with certain sportsmen: BRILLIANT in their field, but you get them outside their area of expertise...
For example, one of the best AFL footballers of his generation, Wayne Carey was brilliant on the field, but off the field he was caught having an affair...
with his *best friend's & his Captain's wife.* (one person)
As I said brilliant on the field, but I would trust him with a 10c piece elsewhere!
It's so weird listening to this now everything sounds so rapey..
He commited no great crime and the girl later went on to have an affair with him. She told lies about him because he dumped her.
Nothing in this sounds rapey.
But he's talking about two little boys not four teenage girls
It's still a lovely song. I have two lovely Sons. They make it all amazing.
"Two little boys had two little toys..." How did we not figure this out already?
Just so you know he didn’t write the song. It was written for WW1. "Two Little Boys" is a song written by American composer Theodore F. Morse and lyricist Edward Madden. It was written in 1902. This song has nothing to do with what he did.
SFL it was written about the boer war as ww1 would not begin for another 13 ish years
Nobody appears to have listened to the lyrics of this song. It's about two brothers who grow up to fight alongside one another in the American Civil War. Rolf was into little girls, not boys.
When I was a child I thought this was a sweet song . As an adult I'm moved to tears as this song goes much deeper than I realised . 😢
You have issues pal
there are still people alive who protected these people
Love this song. So many childhood memories.
@fjb39what ever
Rumor has it he got the title for this song from an item on his shopping list
I don.t give a rat.s chuff. No court in the world will destroy my childhood
No but Rolf could
@@titchmoynihan4722 ..... PMSL!!
Agree 100%
How very democratic of you, considering that without conscience, he destroyed the childhoods of others.
@@michaelynedwards1043 So did Gary Glitter and Michael Jackson.
R. I.p rolf
IF HE DID YOUR CHILD WOULD YOU SAY R I P FECK OFF PEADEO LOVER
This song takes on a whole new meaning now :/
Yes, also grew up with him as a legend, associated with childrens tv and radio. On one hand he was seriously multi talented and entertaining, and on the other, a sex predator. Hard to recomcile. We all have good and bad in us, his were more extreme. Imagine he suffered greatly when outed, and rightly so.
Rolf Harris died today. Sadly his actions killed his music
TWO LITTLE GIRLS CLIMB UP HERE
Briiliant tune - End OF !
I always loved and still love you Rolf. Listen to the B Side (I love my love - produced by George Martin).
You love a pedophile who raped children? Are you for real????
As much of a monster he was off-screen, I *still* can't help but feel a bit sad at his passing. On screen, he was *such* a marvellous entertainer. He choose to get his own reputation tarnished and thus next to none will mourn him now, especially as he had *no* remorse for his actions till his dying day. My thoughts are for his victims.
I Feel exactly the Same
Operation Yewtree is the guilty one
Great tune, my mam used to sing this to my brother and I
We love you, Rolf. You know what you did was wrong. But we still love you. ❤
Speak for yourself you nonce lover
OMG Don't use the word we.. You love a pedophile you sicko. Your disgusting
I still listen to it .
