Tessie Lyrics - Dropkick Murphys

Tessie is the Royal Rooters rally cry 

Tessie is the tune they always sung 

Tessie echoed April through October nights 

After serenading Stahl, Dineen and Young 

Tessie is a maiden with the sparkling eyes 

Tessie is a maiden with the love 

She doesn't know the meaning of her sight 

She's got a comment full of love 

And sometimes when the game is on the line 

Tessie always carried them away 

Up the road from Third Base to Huntington 

The boys will always sing and sway 

Two! Three! Four! 

Tessie, Nuff Ced McGreevy shouted 

We're not here to mess around 

Boston, you know we love you madly 

Hear the crowd roar to your sound 

Don't blame us if we ever doubt you 

You know we couldn't live without you 

Tessie, you are the only, only, only 

The Rooters showed up at the Grounds one day 

They found their seats had all been sold 

McGreevy led the charge into the park 

Stormed the gates and put the game on hold 

The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright 

Boston's tenth man could not be wrong 

Up from Third Base to Huntington 

They sang another victory song 

Two! Three! Four! 

Tessie, Nuff Ced McGreevy shouted 

We're not here to mess around 

Boston, you know we love you madly 

Hear the crowd roar to your sound 

Don't blame us if we ever doubt you 

You know we couldn't live without you 

Tessie, you are the only, only, only 

The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright 

Boston's tenth man could not be wrong 

Up from Third Base to Huntington 

They sang another victory song 

Two! Three! Four! 

Tessie, Nuff Ced McGreevy shouted 

We're not here to mess around 

Boston, you know we love you madly 

Hear the crowd roar to your sound 

Don't blame us if we ever doubt you 

You know we couldn't live without you 

Tessie, you are the only, only, only 

Don't blame us if we ever doubt you 

You know we couldn't live without you 

Boston, you are the only, only, only 

Don't blame us if we ever doubt you 

You know we couldn't live without you 

Red Sox, you are the only, only, only
