"Sullivan" lyrics by Caroline's Spine it's not hard to reach back to the day underneath that iowa sun running to the tower of waterloo looking for the Sullivan train to come and his five boys would run to the top and salute him as he went by first we'd wave hello then we'd wave goodbye daddy, goodbye it's not hard to reach back to the days after the attack on pearl when overnight my buddies turned into men running out of time for games and girls and the Sullivan boys were not overlooked Uncle Sam'll call them each by name the very next day they left on a mystery train say goodbye, bye, bye Mrs. Sullivan don't you cry, cry, cry cry cry "-We regret to inform you the Navy has taken your sons away-" all five, five, five, five, five so put your blue stars in the window it's not hard to reach back to her smile when she'd recieve their letters 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 say goodbye, bye, bye Mrs. Sullivan and don't you cry, cry, cry ,cry ,cry "-We regret to inform you the Navy is keeping your sons away-" all five, five, five, five, five so keep your blue stars 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 five of her boys were lost... Oh say goodbye, bye, bye Mrs. Sullivan go ahead and cry, cry, cry, cry ,cry "-We regret to inform you that all your sons have passed away-" all five, five, five, five, five so change your blue stars to gold blue stars to gold blue stars…..change them to gold
