Take Me Out To The Ball Game 1908 JPitt-Payne

Katie Casey was baseball mad
had the fever and had it bad,
just to root
for the home town crew,
ev'ry sou Katie blew
on a Saturday her young beau
called to see if she'd like to go,
to see a show
but Miss Kate said "No,
I'll tell you
what you can do."

Take me out to the ball game
take me out with the crowd,
buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back
let me root, root,
root for the home team
if they don't win it's a shame
for it's one, two, three strokes
you're out, at the old ball game.

Take me out to the ball game
take me out with the crowd,
buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back
let me root, root,
root for the home team
if they don't win it's a shame
for it's one, two, three strokes
you're out, at the old ball game.

Katie Casey saw all the games
knew the players by their first names,
told the umpire
he was wrong, all along
good and strong
when the score was just two to two
Katie Casey knew what to do
just to cheer up the boys she knew
she made the gang sing this song.

Take me out to the ball game
take me out with the crowd,
buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back
let me root, root,
root for the home team
if they don't win it's a shame
for it's one, two, three strokes
you're out, at the old ball game.

Take me out to the ball game
take me out with the crowd,
buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back
let me root, root,
root for the home team
if they don't win it's a shame
for it's one, two, three strokes
you're out, at the old ball game.
