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
