Dropkick Murphys - Jimmy collins' wake - live from spotify nyc lyrics

Weve 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 Well 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 gla** 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 them hard We hit them clean The pitching of Big Bill Dineen Some legged a bunt Some hit them out Remember old Buck Freemans clouts? Lets sing of Candy Cy and Freddy Patsy Dougherty At the ready Long Tom Hughes And Broadway Aleck Hobe, Chick And Jack OBrien Honus Wagner sat there cryin Lets raise a gla** 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 Well hug your kids and kiss the wife And tell of how you played the game And led us all to wealth and fame Well lift our heads With one loud voice Pay homage To The Peoples Choice Lets raise a gla** and lift it up Then sip from Jimmy Collins Cup And hail the lads that won the crown While turning baseball upside down
