The Fighting Sullivans
Caroline's Spine

It's not hard to reach back

To that day, underneath the 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 wave hello, then we waved goodbye

Goodbye

It's not hard to reach back

to the days after the attack on Pearl

And 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

So say goodbye, bye, bye Mrs. Sullivan

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

We regret to inform you that the Navy

is taking your sons away

All five, five, five, five

So put your blue star in the window

In the window

It's not hard to reach back to her smile

when she received 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

So say goodbye, bye, bye Mrs. Sullivan

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

We regret to inform you that the Navy

is keeping your sons away

All five, five, five, five

So put your blue star 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 of her 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 of 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 stars change them to gold
