Milwaukee Baseball Blues Music by Johnny Cash (Folsom Prison Blues) 1) I hear them Cubbies Comin’ They’re only two games back But I ain’t seen the playoffs Since Gorman had the knack I’m stuck in Miller Park And time keeps draggin’ on… Cause baseball here in Brewtown Always seems to go wrong 2) When I was just a baby My momma told me son Had a club in fifty-seven Always got things done Had Aaron, Spahn and Matthews And Burdette won all three… But it’s goin’ on fifty years now And that’s what tortures me. 3) We once had Bamby’s Bombers They hit homers all day long Had Mollie, Coop, & Gumby Yount and Fingers did no wrong But we couldn’t beat them Cardinals Daryl Porter kicked our ass… Twenty five years later That pain just seems to last 4) Now we started out oh-seven With a team that had no names But Prince he’s hittin’ homers, Ben Sheets he’s winnin’ games Bud Selig doesn’t matter Attanasio pays the fame… But if those Cubbies keep a winnin’ We’re sure to tumble to shame. 5) If those baseball gods would grant me Just one wish before I die. I’ll take seven games in winter That’s October where I lie I’ll take a crack at Jeter, Manny, Pudge or Jermaine Dye… But if history tells me one thing I’ll hang my head and cry.
