They say that Cy was
once the best
and those old sox were truly blessed
five times they fulfilled their quest
on that field of play;
Once they even owned the Babe
the Fenway faithful had it made
but that was all before the trade
Down on Yawkey Way;
Williams hit above the four
with Rudy, Dom and Bobby Doerr
Who could really ask for more?
Down on Yawkey Way;
In '46 that series came
but the Cardinals won that 7th game
when Johnny Pesky took the blame
Down on Yawkey Way;
At Fenway Park in Boston
baseball is more than just a game
forever faithful win or lose I'm proud to say I came
to see the hometown heroes on that golden field of play
I hold a thousand memories from Down on Yawkey Way;
In '67 they picked
us last
but we rose that pennant on the mast
the triple crown belonged to Yaz
Down on Yawkey Way;
The Red Sox and the Red machine
played the greatest game I've ever seen
when Carlton sent us home to dream
Down on Yawkey Way;
At Fenway Park in Boston
There's an old familier doubt
that comes from years of waitin'
just to see that final out;
They'll have champagne on the house
when they chase those ghosts away
and we'll be dancin in the street
Down on Yawkey Way;
BRIDGE
When I was just a boy
I'd go Down on Yawkey Way
to shine those shoes to pay my dues
to see those Red Sox play
Down on Yawkey Way there is a child with everyman
we're all god's children anyway here in these old stands......
Williams, Yaz and the
killer B's
Carbo, Rice and Tony C.
Dewey, JIm and Luis T.
were Down on Yawkey Way
Fox, Malzone and Monbouquette
and Cronin we will not forget
We hate the Yank's and the New York Mets
Down on Yawkey Way;
At Fenway Park in Boston
We remember Bucky Dent
and when Billy Buck misplayed that ball
we knew just what it meant
but the pride of all New England
will take the field today
and there's no place I'd rather be
than Down on Yawkey Way;
