Текст песни: Here Lies Carl Mays + перевод

It’s so peaceful here in the Riverview graveyard

And sometimes it felt that way out in the green ball field

But life can take a turn right before your eyes

And you know you’ll never be the same again

Chappie was a favorite son, called a prince by everyone

But he couldn’t hit me a lick, and he’d tell you so

When he squared to bunt again, I submarined it up and in

He was leaning out over the plate, and he just froze

I wasn’t trying to hurt anyone

But now it’s all so said and done

And I wish that killer pitch never left my hand

It was never far from my mind

But the next year I went 27 and 9

Hit .343 and we won the Yanks' first flag

Still people didn’t like me

Accused me of being on the take in the Series

I pitched three complete games with an ERA of 1.73

In '28 Ray’s wife died, suspected it was suicide

And the daughter he never saw passed in '29

And the very ball I threw that day

Thirty years later it was put into play

Took a bad hop and smashed some kid in the eye
