Charlie Boy Songtext
von The Lumineers

Charlie boy, don′t go to war
Firstborn 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
