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
