Charlie Boy

Charlie boy, don't go to war
 Firstborn in '44
 ♪
 And Kennedy made him believe
 We could do much more
 Lillian, don't hang your head
 ♪
 Love should make you feel good
 In uniform, you raised a man
 
 Who volunteered to stand
 ♪
 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
 ♪
 Play the bugle, play the taps
 Make your fathers proud
 
 Raise your rifles to the sky, boys
 Fire that volley loud
