Mrs "Sullivan" - Caroline's Spine



Their cruiser USS Juneau was torpedoed with the loss of 700 of her sailors and five were brothers from Waterloo, Iowa

Its 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
His five boys would run to the top and salute him as he went by
First he'd wave hello, and then we'd wave goodbye, goodbye

It's not hard to reach back to the days
After the attack on Pearl
And overnight my buddies turned into men
Running out of time for games and girls.
The Sullivan boys were not overlooked
Uncle Sam ah callin' each by name.
The very next day they left on a mystery train.
Say goodbye, bye, bye Mrs. Sullivan and 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
So put your blue star in the window.

It's not hard to reach back to her smile
When she'd receive a letter.
The letters sounded generally the same it 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
That the Navy is keeping your sons away" all five...five...five...five
So keep your blue star in the window, in the window.

It's not hard to reach back to the day when the war finally came home
Uncle Sam will 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, they were, they were, they were....
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."

Well all five...five...five...five

So change your blue star to gold,
blue star to gold, blue star to gold, blue stars, change them to gold
