lyrics

Way down in Hades in the pit
Ai oh, down below
At the point where the seven rivers hit
Ai oh, down below
There’s a lass who hardly feels the flame
Ai oh, down below
And the Stripes all call her by her name
Captain Wilcox

Though we can’t get back what the umpires stole
We have still got fire from way down in the hole
And we will not lose another soul
Not under Captain Wilcox

When she winds a pitch, let the batter beware
Ai oh, down below
‘Cause she’ll throws three strikes like you’re not even there
Ai oh, down below
With a murder of crows at her beck-ing and call
Ai oh, down below
But the thing to fear is the one with the ball
Captain Wilcox

Though we can’t get back what the umpires stole
We have still got fire from way down in the hole
And we will not lose another soul
Not under Captain Wilcox

They say she dug out the trench in left field
Ai oh, down below
Through an iron turf and a layer of steel
Ai oh, down below
Hades built our hall from a metal unscratched
Ai oh, down below
But there’s one damn thing he could never have matched
Captain Wilcox

Though we can’t get back what the umpires stole
We have still got fire from way down in the hole
And we will not lose another soul
Not under Captain Wilcox

When she’s all alone, and the games are all done
Ai oh, down below
And the cheering’s died and the day has been won
Ai oh, down below
She will know the truths that the dark will impart
Ai oh, down below
And she feels the weight of the team on her heart
Ai oh, down below

For a Captain’s lot is a terrible thing
Ai oh, down below
When you see three deaths for each champion’s ring
Ai oh, down below
So she’s learned each ump and the ones that they took
And their names are in red in a recipe book
Signed Captain M, To Wilcox

Though we can’t get back what the umpires stole
We have still got fire from way down in the hole
And we will not lose another soul
Not under Captain Wilcox
Not under Captain Wilcox
RIGHT!
