Cooperstown

The water's wide

It's deep and wide

It's down a long and windy road

And everyone knows that a boy can't swim it

In Narrow's Church

The white walled church

They're singing that gospel song

"Bye and Bye, I will see my King"

The clouds will break

And the pews shake

And the choir softly cries

And it's Georgia in the spring of 1905

Ty Cobb

You're dead and gone

You had a game like a war machine

And through the great

Hall of Fame you wander

In Tigers Field

A girl in heels

She had a face like a magazine

And through the long metal stands she wandered

The ball soared

The crowd roared

The scoreboard sweetly hummed

And tomorrow you'll surely know whose won

I'm on First

And you're on Third

And all the wolves are all between

And everyone's sure that the game is over

The catcher's hard

He's mean mean and hard

And he nips at the batter's heels

And everyone's sure that the game is over

The ball soars

And the crowd roars

And the scoreboard sweetly hums

And tomorrow you'll surely know whose won

The water's wide

It's deep and wide

It's a down a long and windy road

And everyone knows that a boy can't swim it

The clouds break

And the pews shake

And the preacher's feet do pound

As the rain beats the streets of Cooperstown
