The Lyrics
As I've said many times in another sport, Rangers suck! Watching that Game 6 of the World Series, I had flashbacks to Game 6 of 1986. Except the Red Sox only blew a 2-run lead in the 10th inning -- the Rangers blew 2-run leads in the 9th AND the 10th! And STILL had a chance to win it in the 11th, but lost. So Red Sox fans can join Cardinal fans in feeling good about this: The Sox no longer have the worst World Series choke ever! The original song was written by Billy Swan, who would hit Number 1 for himself with "I Can Help" in 1974.
(instrumental opening)
David Freese
led us back
like a train coming down the track.
Big hits for Saint Louie
left the Rangers in misery.
You would never let your team lose.
You would give the other team the blues.
Don't you know we'd cheer for you?
Ball is gone, that's what we'll do!
David Freese
led us back
like a train coming down the track.
Big hits for Saint Louie

(instrumental break)
Old, old story, not too long
about a game that went all wrong.
Texas Rangers played so bad.
St. Lou won, now Dallas sad.
David Freese
led us back
like a train coming down the track.
Big hits for Saint Louie
left the Rangers in misery.
Hit a shot, walkoff, Game 6.
In Game 7, had more tricks.
Helped us kick the Rangers' tush.
Great big party there at Busch!
David Freese
led us back
like a train coming down the track.
Big hits for Saint Louie
left the Rangers in misery.

There, and I didn't even mention that George W. Bush used to be the Rangers' owner. Melissa Etheridge also had a song titled "Lover, Please" -- a very different song.

Looks like you offended a Rangers fan...I was glad to see the Cardinals win, so I'll balance the score and hopefully start you on the way to coming back like the Cards did...nice job...555
Michael - I personally have disliked St. Louis since 1964, but under the Gateway Arch Freese is a "Cardinal virtue". ;D
Let's just say the Rangers' hopes of winning the title has frozed.
