Jimmy Collins' Wake

歌詞

We've gathered her to bid adieu Us Boston boys, alas the few Some from crosstown some from coast To give our skipper one last toast We'll pour the good stuff 'round his casket Drop some coin into the basket Bow our head and praise the lord Then rouse ourselves and strike a chord Let's raise a glass and lift it up Then sip from Jimmy Collin's cup And hail the lads that won the crown They bought victory to our grounds Let's raise a glass and lift it up Then sip from Jimmy Collin's cup And hail the lads that won the crown While turning baseball upside down We hit 'em hard, we hit 'em clean The pitching of Big Bill Dineen Some legged a bunt, some hit 'em out Remember old Buck Freeman's clouts Let's sing of Candy, Cy and Freddy Patsy Daughtery, Broadway Hobe Chick and Jack O'Brien Honus Wagner sat there cryin' Let's raise a glass and lift it up Then sip from Jimmy Collin's cup And hail the lads that won the crown They bought victory to our grounds Let's raise a glass and lift it up Then sip from Jimmy Collin's cup And hail the lads that won the crown While turning baseball upside down Our days with you, indeed were great And now that you have crossed the plate And scored the final run of life We'll hug your kids and kiss your wife And tell of how you played the game And led us all to wealth and fame We'll lift our head with one loud voice And pay hommage to "The People's Choice" Let's raise a glass and lift it up Then sip from Jimmy Collin's cup And hail the lads that won the crown They bought victory to our grounds Let's raise a glass and lift it up Then sip from Jimmy Collin's cup And hail the lads that won the crown While turning baseball upside down Let's raise a glass and lift it up Let's raise a glass and lift it up Then sip from Jimmy Collin's cup
