Columbus Baseball Song

Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, rally with me,
Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, make some noise,
We'll sting you like a huckle-berry bee,
Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, play ball boys

Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, rally with me,
Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, make some noise,
Cassidy in the left field, John in the right,
Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, play ball boys

Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, rally with me,
Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, make some noise,
Woods on the third base, Tommy on the stop,
Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, play ball boys

Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, rally with me,
Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, make some noise,
Larry on the home plate, Cherry on the hill,
Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, play ball boys

Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, rally with me,
Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, make some noise,
Bryce in the center field catching all the flies,
Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, play ball boys

Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, rally with me,
Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, make some noise,
Goben is on the second base, workin' the bag,
Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, play ball boys

Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, rally with me,
Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, make some noise,
Foster on first base, mighty slick and good,
Hey Columbus, Ho Columbus, play ball boys

Let's go on over, on over,
Let's go on over, on over,
We'll go on over, all the way over to Joplin,
They've got no team, we'll leave them sobbin',
Their batters are weak, all show and no go,
Stick a fork in their pitchers, they're done

-- Bryce Martin
