Jimmy Collins’ Wake Lyrics & Tabs by Dropkick Murphys
Jimmy Collins’ Wake
guitar chords lyrics
Weve gathered here, to bid adieu
Us Boston boys, alas are few
Some from crosstown, some from 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
They brought victory to our grounds
Lets raise a glass and lift it up
Then sip from Jimmy Collins cup
And hail the lads that won the crown
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 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 Freemans clouts
Lets sing of Candy, Cy and Freddy
Patsy Dougherty, Broadway Hobe
Chick and Jack OBrien
Honus Wagner sat there cryin
Lets 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
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 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 your 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
And pay homage to The Peoples Choice
Lets 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
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 down
Lets raise a glass and lift it up
Lets raise a glass and lift it up
And sip from Jimmy Collins cup
