Tessie (old Timey Baseball Version) Lyrics

Tessie (old Timey Baseball Version) lyrics

Tessie is the Royal Rooters rally cry

Tessie is the song 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

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
