| Text | Chorus: Then shout, shout for joy, and let the welkin ring,/ In praises of our noble game, for health is sure to bring;/ Come, my brave Yankee boys, there's room enough for all,/ So join in Uncle Samuel's sport - the pastime of base ball." The song was sung in honor of the Excelsiors at a dinner in August 1858, and recaptured in Henry Chadwick, The Game of Base Ball [1868; reprint, Camden House, 1983), pp. 178-180, per Dean Sullivan. Reprinted in Dean A. Sullivan, Compiler and Editor, Early Innings: A Documentary History of Baseball, 1825-1908 [University of Nebraska Press, 1995], pp. 30-32. |
