Hey you Boston Red Sox fans out there! Have you ever wondered what would you do if the Boston Red Sox broke this jinx and won the World Series? How would you feel and how long would that feeling last? Sure I know we all feel great about the New England Patriots but I'm talking heart and soul. I'm talking about the Boston Red Sox On the CD Baseball Songs Sports Heroes I wrote two different versions of Babe Ruth's Curse. The second version Babe Ruth's Curse II explores how some of us Red Sox fans might feel if we ever did win it all and end this curse! Here is the entire lyric of this song. Hope you like it. Please no hate mail!!
OUR RED SOX NOW LEAD BY A COUNTRY MILE STILL FEAR GRIPS OUR HEARTS THE CROWD WEARS NO SMILE BABE'S CURSE IS WITH US ALL CLOUDS GROW DARK IT'S WORLD SERIES TIME AT OLD FENWAY PARK
THAT'S NOT DISTANT THUNDER I HEAR FROM THE SKY BUT MISTER BABE RUTH STEPPING DOWN FROM ON HIGH BABE'S COMING TO PLAY WITH HIS BAT AND HIS BALL TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T WIN THE SERIES THIS FALL
CHORUS
HEY MISTER BABE PLEASE GIVE US A BREAK HOW MUCH MORE CAN THE RED SOX FANS TAKE IN THE ANNALS OF BASEBALL NONE CAN BE WORSE THAN THE TERRIBLE TALE OF BABE RUTH'S CURSE
IN THE SERIES OF '18 BABE STRODE TO THE MOUND AND PROCEEDED TO MOW THE CHICAGO CUBS DOWN BUT THAT'S THE LAST SERIES THE SOX EVER WON SOON BABE RUTH WAS TRADED, THE DIRTY DEED DONE
REPEAT CHORUS
WHEN VICTORY NEARS SOON COMES THE DEFEAT 'TIS ALWAYS BEEN THUS WE ALWAYS GET BEAT WAIT STOP THE MUSIC! WHAT WOULD WE DO IF OUR SOX DID WIN? OHHH WHAT A HORRIBLE FIX WE'D BE IN!!
NOTHIN' TO HOPE FOR NOTHIN' TO FEAR NEVER TO UTTER WAIT 'TIL NEXT YEAR HEY MISTER BABE PLEASE KEEP UP YOUR CURSE 'TIS BETTER TO LOSE A WIN WOULD BE WORSE!!
