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!!
