Lyrics
Ole #9
Verse 1: When ole #9 died, all the baseball fans cried
But his boy had plans of his own
Cut off his old man’s head, thank God the guy was dead
And shipped him off to old New Mexico
Chorus: Yeah, bring Ted back, make him hit it to the track
And make all those rookies run around
And make him look alive, cause he’ll be 185
And be sure to bring him to my town
Verse 2: Yeah, the old man was old, and now he’s mighty cold
Bout 300 below some would say
Freezing his head, trying to make his boy some bread
We’ll bring him back to hit another day
Chorus: Yeah, bring Ted back, make him hit it to the track
And make all those rookies run around
And make him look alive, cause he’ll be 185
And be sure to bring him to my town
Verse 3: He could hit the ball, better than most
And the game will forever feel his ghost
Although it’s just a game, people all know his name
And he’ll always have his place in the hall of fame
Chorus: Yeah, bring Ted back, make him hit it to the track
And make all those rookies run around
And make him look alive, cause he’ll be 185
And be sure to bring him to my town
Verse 4: But, poor old Ted, they cut off his head
And shipped it off to old New Mexico
And there he’ll stay, for many a day
Til the baseball world is ready for the show
Chorus: Yeah, bring Ted back, make him hit it to the track
And make all those rookies run around
And make him look alive, cause he’ll be 185
And be sure to bring him to my town
Chorus: Yeah, bring Ted back, make him hit it to the track
And make all those rookies run around
And make him look alive, cause he’ll be 185
And be sure to bring him to my town
