New Cardinals WS Tribute Song on the way...

In contradistinction to the last song (click here to listen) about the Cardinals and their World Series appearance, a new one is in the works commemorating the season. My brother wrote the music for the last one, and is working on the new tune now. When I drafted these lyrics I had in mind the tune from Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues". Enjoy! I'll post a link when it's done, but the lyrics are pasted below:

When we lost out on AJ, and instead we got Ponson,
The fanbase tossed their hands up; what the heck is goin' on?
We didn't get much better, or so it really seemed.
Ponson instead of Morris; that don't improve the team.

Then Mulder hurt his shoulder, and Marquis really sucked
Ponson kept getting' fatter, we were runnin' out of luck
They kept Reyes in the minors, and Wainwright in the `pen.
Rolen just wasn't Rolen, Edmonds an injured man.

But Albert kept on mashin' and just driving in the runs
When Carpenter was pitching, man, watching them was fun!
But they limped into the playoffs, an 83-win club.
They didn't seem to have a chance, playing like the Cubs.

But Weaver pitched his heart out and Molina found his stroke,
Rolen got his swing back and with bats the Cardinals spoke.
Adam Wainwright threw that curve ball, and no one could connect.
Spezio kept hitting triples, and Johnson pitched like heck.

They dispatched San Diego, and then they beat the Mets
They whupped up on the Tigers then, and people lost their bets.
They won with hard-nosed baseball, and manufactured runs
Now the Cardinals are the victors, the World Champions!
