Lyrics of Charlie Boy by The Lumineers
verse
Charlie boy, don't go to war
Firstborn in '44
And Kennedy made him believe
We could do much more
verse
Lillian, don't hang your head
Love should make you feel good
In uniform, you raised a man
Who volunteered to stand
chorus
Play the bugle, play the taps
Make your mothers proud
Raise your rifles to the sky, boys
Fire that volley loud
verse
News was bad on Upland Ave
Metuchen mourn our loss
Sons rebelled, while fathers yelled
And mothers clutched the cross
chorus
Play the bugle, play the taps
Make your fathers proud
Raise your rifles to the sky, boys
Fire that volley loud
Writer(s): Wesley Schultz, Jeremy Fraites, Maxwell Hughes
