Jimmy Collins' Wake |
| We’ve gathered here to bid adieu |
| Us Boston boys, alas are few |
| Some from crosstown some from the 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 heads and praise the Lord |
| Then rouse ourselves and strike a chord… |
| Lets raise a glass and lift it up |
| Then sip from Jimmy Collins cup |
| And hail the lads that won the crown |
| That brought victory to our ground |
| Lets raise a glass and lift it up |
| Then sip from Jimmy Collins 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 them out |
| Remember old Buck Freeman’s clouts |
| We’ll sing of Candy, Cy and Freddy |
| Patsy Dougherty, Broadway Hobe, |
| Chick, and Jack O’Brein |
| Honus Wagner sat there cryin' |
| Lets raise a glass and lift it up |
| Then sip from Jimmy Collins cup |
| And hail the lads that won the crown |
| That brought victory to our ground |
| Lets raise a glass and lift it up |
| Then sip from Jimmy Collins 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 that 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 heads with one loud voice |
| Pay homage to «The People’s Choice» |
| Lets raise a glass and lift it up |
| Then sip from Jimmy Collins cup |
| And hail the lads that won the crown |
| That brought victory to our ground |
| Lets raise a glass and lift it up |
| Then sip from Jimmy Collins cup |
| And hail the lads that won the crown |
| While turning baseball upside down |
