Charlie boy, don't go to war, first born in forty - four
Kennedy made him believe we could do much more
Ohhh
Lillian, don't hang your head, love should make you feel good
In uniform you raised a man, who volunteered to stand
[Bridge]
Ohhh
[Chorus]
Play the bugle, play the taps and
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
[Bridge]
Ohhh
[Chorus]
Play the bugle, play the taps and
Make your fathers proud
Raise your rifles to the sky boys
Fire that volley loud
[Verse] Charlie boy, don't go to war, first born in forty - four Kennedy made him believe we could do much more Ohhh Lillian, don't hang your head, love should make you feel good In uniform you raised a man, who volunteered to stand [Bridge] Ohhh [Chorus] Play the bugle, play the taps and 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 [Bridge] Ohhh [Chorus] Play the bugle, play the taps and Make your fathers proud Raise your rifles to the sky boys Fire that volley loud Explain Request ×
