Jimmy Collins' Wake Lyrics - Signed And Sealed In Blood - Dropkick Murphys

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 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 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 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 glass and lift it up 

Then sip from Jimmy Collins Cup 

And hail the lads that won the crown 

While turning baseball upside down
