Young Theo

Lyrics: Mr. Slim
Vocals & Music: The Carter Brothers
Original Version: The Carter Brothers

1918 long time ago
Sox back then had Bambino

If we had'na lost the Bambino
We'd a won and won and won some mo
Where did you come from, where did you go,
Where did you come from, Bambino ? (x2)
Then one day up stepped Young Theo
He knew just where Red Sox should go.

If it hadna' been for young Theo
We'd a been stuck on the Bambino
Where did you come from, where did you go,
Where did you come from, Young Theo ? (x2)

Young Theo's our hired gun
Made Boston baseball lots o' fun
Chorus (Young Theo x2)

Well I went to the Park t'get a Fenway Dog
Saw everyone dancin' the Beantown Flog.
Chorus (Young Theo x2)

John Henry went and got Theo
Now the Sox are champs in 2'04
Chorus (Young Theo x2)
Take a look at Theo's big ol grin
Just pulled off a World Series win
Chorus (Young Theo x2)
