Hang Down Your Head, Craig Counsell

hang down your head craig-counsell,
hang down you head and cry,
you threw way too wide for rickie,
and you know that just don't fly.
You left the ball out of reach
For what should've been an easy play
You left the ball out of reach
And it would've been a double play.

hang down your head craig-counsell,
hang down you head and cry,
you threw way too wide for rickie,
and you know that just don't fly.

You fielded it cleanly and easy,
And pivoted to your left,
You fielded it cleanly and easy,
And pivoted to your left;

You turned to second base
and fired to cut down Pat Burell,
Weeks waited but the ball never came
And the game went straight to hell;

hang down your head craig-counsell,
hang down you head and cry,
you threw way too wide for rickie,
and you know that just don't fly.

"Trouble, oh it's trouble
A-rolling in on Miller Park
As hard as it was to be a-misfiring boys,
The Journal paints it real dark,

I know they gonna picture me,
Tomorrow it will be said
Though I've been clutch for years,
Craig Counsell hang down your head..."

hang down your head craig-counsell,
hang down you head and cry,
you threw way too wide for rickie,
and you know that just don't fly.

"In this league for maybe a year more,
Then I reckon what they'd say
If it weren't for my versatility,
I'd be retried in Whitefish Bay.

You can take down my old leather glove
And re-oil it all you please,
For at this time tomorrow boys,
It will be right next to me..."

hang down your head craig-counsell,
hang down you head and cry,
you threw way too wide for rickie,
and you know that just don't fly.

"At this time tomorrow
Where do you reckon I'll be?
Away done yonder on the bench
Spitting the sunflower seeds..."

hang down your head craig-counsell,
hang down you head and cry,
you threw way too wide for rickie,
and you know that just don't fly.

I knew I knew that song from somewhere

Isnt it Tom Doolin or Tom Dooley in the original?

Ive tried to repress a lot of the Folk references planted in my head from my dad.

well, if yer freewheelin

you probably know about WIllie Mays! And catching hell from Richard Burton.

Yeah, Tom Dooley

The original’s about a murder, so an E6 doesn’t seem quite so bad….

Then again, 2 runs scored on what should have been an inning ending DP in a scoreless game? Almost.
