Listen to the song to get the rhythm.
Capo on 3rd
x2
We ve gathered here, to bid adieu
Us Boston boys alas are few
Some from crosstown some from coast
To give our skipper one last toast
Weâll pour the good stuff âround his casket
Drop some coin into the basket
Bow our heads and praise the Lord
Then rouse ourselves and strike a chord
(Chorus)
Letâs raise a glass and lift it up
Then sip from Jimmy Collinsâ cup
And hail the lads that won the crown
They brought victory to our grounds
Letâs raise a glass and lift it up
Then sip from Jimmy Collinsâ cup
And hail the lads that won the crown
While turning baseball upside down
We hit âem hard, we hit âem clean
The pitching of Big Bill Dineen
Some legged a bunt, some hit âem out
Remember old Buck Freemanâs clouts
Weâll sing of Candy, Cy and Freddy
Patsy Dougherty, Broadway Hobe
Chick and Jack OâBrien
Honus Wagner sat there cryinâ
(Chorus)
Letâs raise a glass and lift it up
Then sip from Jimmy Collinsâ cup
And hail the lads that won the crown
They brought victory to our grounds
Letâs raise a glass and lift it up
Then sip from Jimmy Collinsâ cup
And hail the lads that won the crown
While turning baseball upside down
x2
Our days with you, indeed were great
And now that you have crossed the plate
And scored that final run of life
Weâll hug your kids and kiss your wife
And tell of how you played the game
And led us all to wealth and fame
Weâll lift our heads with one loud voice
And pay homage to âThe Peopleâs Choiceâ
(Chorus)
Letâs raise a glass and lift it up
Then sip from Jimmy Collinsâ cup
And hail the lads that won the crown
They brought victory to our grounds
Letâs raise a glass and lift it up
Then sip from Jimmy Collinsâ cup
And hail the lads that won the crown
While turning baseball upside down
