Take Me Out to the Ball Game

"Take Me Out to the Ball Game," sung by

Edward Meeker, Edison Records.

Katie Casey was baseball mad. Had the

fever, and had it bad.

Just to root for the

hometown crew, every slew, Katie blew.

On a Saturday, her young beau called to

see if she'd like to go to see a show,

but Miss

Kate said, "No.

I'll tell you what you can do."

Take me out to the ball game. Take me

out with the crowd.

Buy me some peanuts and

Cracker Jack. I don't care if I never get

back. Let me root, root,

root for the home team.

If they don't win, it's a shame. For it's

one, two, three strikes,

you're out at the old

ball game.

Katie Casey saw all the games. Knew the

players by their first names.

Told the umpire

he was wrong all along. Good and strong.

When the score was just two to two, Katie

Casey knew what to do.

Just to cheer up the

boys she knew,

she made the gang sing this song.

Take me out to the ball game.

Take me out with the crowd. Buy me some

peanuts and Cracker Jack. I don't care

if I

never get back. Let me root, root,

root for the home

team. If they don't win, it's a shame.

For it's one, two, three strikes,

you're out at the

old ball game.
