Charlie Boy Lyrics - The Lumineers

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

2 Kennedy made him believe we could do much more

3 Ohhh

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

5 In uniform you raised a man, who volunteered to stand

6 Ohhh

7 Play the bugle, play the taps and

8 Make your mothers proud

9 Raise your rifles to the sky boys

10 Fire that volley loud

11 News was bad on upland ave., metuchen mourn our loss

12 Sons rebelled, while fathers yelled, and mothers clutched the cross

13 Ohhh

14 Play the bugle, play the taps and

15 Make your mothers proud

16 Raise your rifles to the sky boys

17 Fire that volley loud
