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
Lets raise a glass and lift it up Lets raise a glass and lift it up Then sip from Jimmy Collins cup
