INTRO: G  
#1.
GI remember when I was a lad, what a fine  
Cbaseball team we Ghad.
Folks would come from miles aAround to see

We played the GRedsox, beat their sox off.
We played the CRedlegs, beat their Glegs off.
We played the GAstros, but it Drained that Gday. 
CHORUS:
GDaddy played first base, Mama played second.
Brother and Csister were the catcher and the 
Gpitcher.
Shortstop was a Agood old Boy Named DSue.
Three big, Ghome run hittin' guys out in the 
Coutfield shaggin' Gflies.
GBrothers Art and Bart and Dcousin Far-go, Gtoo.
#2.
GI remember one place so well, stayin' at the 
Cold Baseball GHotel, owned and operated by my 
uncle DFred.
We all Glaughed when he explained how the Baseball 
CHotel got it's Gname.
GThe pitcher's on the table and the Dcatcher's under 
the Gbed.
CHORUS:
GDaddy played first base, Mama played second.
Brother and Csister were the catcher and the 
Gpitcher.
Shortstop was a Agood old Boy Named DSue.
Three big, Ghome run hittin' guys out in the 
Coutfield shaggin' Gflies.
GBrothers Art and Bart and Dcousin Far-go, Gtoo.
#3.
GOut to the barnyard we would go, learnin' how to 
Chit and run and Gthrow.
GWe had cows and horses all around the Dplace.
Once we Glaughed until we split, when my Cdaddy got 
a Ghit.
GHe slid into what he Dthought was second Gbase.
CHORUS:
GDaddy played first base, Mama played second.
Brother and Csister were the catcher and the 
Gpitcher.
Shortstop was a Agood old Boy Named DSue.
Three big, Ghome run hittin' guys out in the
