Below, you will find the lyrics for Charlie Boy by The Lumineers.
Charlie boy, don't go to war
First born in '44
Kennedy made him believe
We could do much more
And 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
