Charlie Boy
The Lumineers

Charlie boy, don't go to war, first born in forty four

Kennedy made him believe we could do much more

Oh

Lillian, don't hang your head, love should make you feel good

In uniform you raised a man, who volunteered to stand

Oh

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

Oh

Play the bugle, play the taps and

Make your mothers proud

Raise your rifles to the sky boys

Fire that volley loud
