Charlie Lay Down the Gun

We fell in love with the same girl, Charlie,
The fight was fair, and now I've won
So Charlie, lay down the gun, Charlie,
Old friend, please lay down the gun.

I love her too, same as you do, Charlie,
I won't leave her, I won't run.
So, Charlie lay down the gun, Charlie,
Old friend, please lay down the gun.

I know, it hurt you when she turned you down.
I know it could have been the other way around
Can't blame me 'cause I love her Charlie
Can't blame her when it's said and done.

So, Charlie lay down the gun Charlie,
Old friend, please lay down the gun,
Charlie, I'm sorry, lay down gun,
Charlie, you're crying, lay down the gun...
