March of the Cardinals

Title

March of the Cardinals

Description

Rather brightly
O’er the railroad tracks
O’er the railroad tracks
Come the Gas House fellows
H’er the railroad tracks
In the railroad hacks
In the railroad hacks
Like the Barnum Show and all the circus acts
Hear the bleachers wildly scream
What a team! What a team!
Like the knights of old they seem
They’re the fighting Cardinal team
They’re from Missouri and t hey fight with a fury
For they’ve got that rattling battling spirit
They’re out to win it
If they don’t get to win it you can bet they’ll come goldarn near it
See the clouds,
They’re clearing
Hear the crowds
They’re cheering
Here they come
They’re nearing
Here they are, appearing
While the bands are playing
All the fans are swaying
Right with the rhythm
For the fever is with ‘em
When the Card’nals come to town
V1
Here they come in their overalls that gas house gang of renown
Here they come with their bats and balls
Just look at ‘em swaggering
Look at ‘em swaggering
Isn’t it staggering to hear that cheering!
Here they come with their bags and packs
They’re John !. Fans wildest dream
Here they come o’er the railroad tracks that powerful, plucky that happy go lucky
That colorful Cardinal Team
V2
Lift your lids to the Card’nal stars to Frankie Frisch and his crew
All the kids and their Ma’s and Pa’s
Are cheering ‘em cheering ‘em
Some of them jeering ‘em
All of them steering ‘em on to vict’ry with their pluck and their mad slam bang
They’re baseball’s cream de la cream.
Here’s good luck to the Gas House gang the pride of Saint Looey they’ll never go blooey
That colorful Cardinal Team
Ending
To the umpire, to the umpire
See ‘em rally ‘round him and rave
They are childlike, but they’re wildlike over some decision he gave
Hear ‘em rave, hear ‘em rave, hear ‘em rave
