I remember when I was a lad
What a fine baseball team we had
Folks would come from miles around to see us play
We played the Red Sox, beat their socks off
We played the Red Legs, beat their legs off
We played the Astros, but it rained that day
Daddy played first base
Mama played second
Brother and sister were the catcher and the pitcher
Shortstop was a good old boy named Sue
Three big home run hitting guys
Out in the outfield shagging flies
Brothers Art and Bart and cousin Fargo too
I remember one place so well
Staying at the old baseball hotel
Owned and operated by my Uncle Fred
We all laughed when he'd explain
How the baseball hotel got its name
The pitcher's on the table and the catcher's under the bed
Daddy played first base
Mama played second
Brother and sister were the catcher and the pitcher
Shortstop was a good old boy named Sue
Three big home run hitting guys
Out in the outfield shagging flies
Brothers Art and Bart and cousin Fargo too
Out to the barnyard we would go
Learning how to hit and run and throw
We had cows and horses all around the place
Once we laughed until we split
When my daddy got a hit
He slid into what he thought was second base
Daddy played first base
Mama played second
Brother and sister were the catcher and the pitcher
Shortstop was a good old boy named Sue
Three big home run hitting guys
Out in the outfield shagging flies
Brothers Art and Bart and cousin Fargo too
Brothers Art and Bart and cousin Fargo too
