Sullivan
Caroline's Spine

It's not hard to reach back to the day

Underneath that Iowa sun

Running to the tower of Waterloo

Looking for the Sullivan's train to come

And his five boys would run to the top

And salute him as he went by

First we'd wave hello

then we'd wave goodbye

Goodbye

It's not hard to reach back to the days

After the attack on Pearl

Overnight my buddies turned into men

Running out of time for games and girls

And the Sullivan boys were not overlooked

Uncle Sam calling each by name

The very next day they left on a mystery train

Say goodbye, bye, bye, Mrs. Sullivan

And don't you cry, cry, cry, cry, cry

We regret to inform you

the Navy has taking your sons away-

all five, five, five, five...

so put your blue stars in the window

It's not hard to reach back to her smile

When she'd receive a letter

And the letters they sounded generally the same

Said if they couldn't be home

At least they were together

On a mighty fighting battleship

Somewhere in the South Pacific

The letters never got much more specific

Say goodbye, bye, bye, Mrs. Sullivan

And don't you cry, cry, cry, cry, cry

We regret to inform you

the Navy is keeping your sons away-

All five, five, five, five...

so keep your blue stars in the window.

In the window

It's not hard to reach back to the day

when the war finally came home

Uncle Sam'll send you a telegram

So he doesn't have to tell you over the phone

I heard she cracked up

When they found out what the war had cost

When all five of her boys were lost

They were, they were, they were...

Say goodbye, bye, bye, Mrs. Sullivan

Go ahead and cry, cry, cry, cry, cry

We regret to inform you

that all your sons have passed away-

all five, five, five, five...

so change your blue star to gold.

Blue star to gold

Blue star to gold

Blue star to gold

Blue star to gold

Change them to gold
