Charlie Boy Song Lyrics
Charlie boy, don’t go to war
First born in ’44
And Kennedy made him believe
We could do much more…
*****
Lillian, don’t hang your head
Love should make you feel good
In uniform, you raised a man
Who volunteered to stand…
*****
Play the bugle, play the taps
Make your mothers proud
Raise your rifles to the sky, boys
Fire that volley loud…
*****
News was bad on Upland Ave
Metuchen mourn our loss
Sons rebelled, while fathers yelled
And mothers clutched the cross…
*****
Play the bugle, play the taps
Make your fathers proud
Raise your rifles to the sky, boys
Fire that volley loud…
