Dropkick Murphys - Jimmy Collins' Wake
.
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
.
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
.
Let's raise a glass and lift it up
Then sip from Jimmy Collins' cup
And hail the lads that won the crown
They brought victory to our grounds
.
Let's 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 'em out
Remember old Buck Freeman's clouts
Let's sing of Candy, Cy and Freddy
Patsy Dougherty, Broadway Hobe
Chick and Jack O'B
