| 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. |
