lyrics

you and me and the old oak tree
tee hee tee hee tee hee
I'll be your little lady from the backcountry
hee hee hee hee hee hee

with those crisp blue eyes
together we drove me to the skies
we hated that night
cause love piled high
and I felt not right
but you were by my side

if I could pick out teammates
and have batting practice all the day
you'd jump out of the line
so baby be mine
maybe we could play together on the same team
who else we got?

we got the swinging lovely Arbour
and the legendary O'Hare
they're used to lying in their beds
with noises in their heads
maybe it's the crack of bats they hear in the air?

so just,
show up to practice
and show me how to whack this
show me what you were born for

and grandma, you were born to play
play play play play
and baby, you were born for that hot New Haven day
and baby, you were born
to run around in boots of rawhide
and that shabby, singsong lady
by your side

i'm singing, I love you
from your curls to your crappy shoes
i'm singing, baby get on board
before i turns out my knives
my bats and by bows and my swords

if i could hand out trophies
at the end of every season
i'd deny that little boy
to hear you make some noise
to hear you say hip hop hooray
just look at what I've won!
so, I'll be your trophy
but you gotta gotta gotta love me
the baseball diamond is the place to be.
