BbTessie is the Royal Rooters rally cry
FTessie is the tune they always sung
FTessie echoed April through October nights
After Bbserenading Stahl, Dinneen and FYoung
BbTessie is a maiden with a sparkling eye
FTessie is a maiden with a love
FShe doesn't know the meaning of her sight
BbShe's got a comment full of Flove
Bb F F Bb F
And sometimes when the game is on the line
Tessie always carried them away
Up the road from Third Base to Huntington
The boys will always sing and sway
Two! Three! Four!
[Chorus]
BbTessie, Nuff Said McGreevy shouted
EbWe're not here to mess around
BbBoston, you know we Flove you madly
Hear the Bbcrowd roar to your Fsound
BbDon't blame us if we ever doubt you
EbYou know we couldn't lEbmive without you
FTessie, you are the only, only, BbonlyF  
The Rooters showed up at the grounds one day
They found their seats had all been sold
McGreevy led the charge into the park
Stormed the gates and put the game on hold
The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright
Boston's tenth man could not be wrong
Up from Third Base to Huntington
They sang another victory song
Two! Three! Four!
[Chorus]
Tessie, Nuff Said McGreevy shouted
We're not here to mess around
Boston, you know we love you madly
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Tessie, you are the only, only, only
The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright
Boston's tenth man could not be wrong
Up from Third Base to Huntington
They sang another victory song
Two! Three! Four!
[Chorus]
Tessie, Nuff Said McGreevy shouted
We're not here to mess around
Boston, you know we love you madly
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Tessie, you are the only, only, only
Bb F F Bb F
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Boston, you are the only, only, only
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Red Sox, you are the only, only, only
Hey! hey! hey!
