Enda Reilly Sings The Sullivans We Stick Together at Buffalo Naval ParkI came full circle with The Sullivans (We Stick Together) song on Monday, when I returned to sing on the deck of the 80 year old USS The Sullivans, alongside the Shamrock and the names of the five brothers who died in WW2.

Major repairs are still needed on the ship so if anyone would like to donate to that visit www.savethesullivans.org

The lyrics of the song tell the story

The Sullivans (We Stick Together)

 by Enda Reilly 2022

We Stick Together boys

The Sullivans

The Sullivans

We Stick Together boys

Brothers til the end

Red, Frank, Albert, George and Madison

The Sullivans 

We Stick Together boys

Brothers til the end

At Pearl Harbour 

We lost a friend

‘twas only right

We must avenge

As Brothers 5

We did unite

The Japanese

We had to fight

We Stick Together boys

The Sullivans

The Sullivans

We Stick Together boys

Brothers til the end

Red, Frank, Albert, George and Madison

The Sullivans 

We Stick Together boys

Brothers til the end

We enlisted in the Navy

Five proud Irish brothers

The rules were to split us up

But we said 

We stick together

We Stick Together boys

The Sullivans

The Sullivans

We Stick Together boys

Brothers til the end

Red, Frank, Albert, George and Madison

The Sullivans 

We Stick Together boys

Brothers til the end

We sailed aboard 

the Juneau

At Guadalcanal

took a torpedo

With a Broken Keel 

But we fixed her neat

Stayed afloat

Forced to retreat

We Stick Together boys

The Sullivans

The Sullivans

We Stick Together boys

Brothers til the end

Red, Frank, Albert, George and Madison

The Sullivans 

We Stick Together boys

Brothers til the end

To the New Hebrides

We made our way

But the Japanese

Were waiting

The I-26 

Sunk us quick

at Torpedo 

Junction

We Stick Together boys

The Sullivans

The Sullivans

We Stick Together boys

Brothers til the end

Red, Frank, Albert, George and Madison

The Sullivans 

We Stick Together boys

Brothers til the end

Now we are gone

But remembered

By our dear father and mother 

And the crew of

DD  537

USS The Sullivans!

We Stick Together boys

The Sullivans

The Sullivans

We Stick Together boys

Brothers til the end

Red, Frank, Albert, George and Madison

The Sullivans 

We Stick Together boys

Brothers til the end
