Jimmy Collins' wake

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 glass and lift it up

Then sip from Jimmy Collins Cup

And hail the lads that won the crown

While turning baseball upside downWe 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 cryinLets 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 downOur 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 ChoiceLets 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
