Jimmy Collins’ Wake
Dropkick Murphys

We've 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

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...

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

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 Freeman's clouts?

Lets sing of Candy

Cy and Freddy

Patsy Dougherty

at the ready

Long Tom Hughes

and Broadway Aleck

Hobe, Chick

and Jack O'Brien

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

We'll hug your kids and kiss the wife

and tell of how you played the game

and led us all to wealth and fame


We'll lift our heads


With one loud voice


Pay homage

To The People's 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
