can anyone help me find a recording of this song?

(cd or mp3 is fine) thanks. :)

(btw it was written by someone who made nat king cole famous! ;) )

Two brothers on their way

One wore blue

One wore gray

as they marched along their way

a fife and a drum began to play'

All on a beautiful morning

One was gentle

One was kind

Cannonball don't pay no mind

or your gentle - or your kind

nor think of the folks you left behind

All on a beautiful morning

Two girls waitin by the railroad track

one wore blue and one wore black

waitin there by the railroad track

for their darlins to come back

All on a beautiful morning

Do you remember who sang it? The Highwaymen?

I just looked it up on AMG. There are versions available by harry Belafonte, The Weavers, Rod McKuen!!!And Tom Jones!!! It's written by Irving

Gordon. What does he have to do with Nat Cole?

Irving Gordon, a composer and lyricist whose work includes the song Unforgettable, the Nat King Cole hit, the lyrics to Prelude to a Kiss, the Ellington standard. As perhaps his most memorable entry into the public consciousness, Irving Gordon wrote Abbot and Costello's famous "Who's on First" routine.
