Uncle Jimmy
Uncle Jimmy was a Phillies fan
I don't know how he came to root for them
The red-capped missing fingered man
Took my dad to Veteran's Stadium
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to Jim
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to him
Mike Schmidt was maybe 21
Uncle Jimmy said, "That guys a bum!"
He took it back in '80, '81
The year they finally won
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to Jim
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to him
Uncle Jimmy smelled like cigarettes
About as skinny as a man can get
He lost those fingers in the machinery
In 1963
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to Jim
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to him
Crew cut, missing finger
He could-a-been a country singer
He looked like George Jones
At least to me he did!
Uncle Jimmy stopped by the house
Stood on the lawn and he looked about
I don't recall him ever coming in
But I was just a kid back then
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to Jim
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to him
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to Jim
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to Jim
I don't know how he came to root for them
The red-capped missing fingered man
Took my dad to Veteran's Stadium
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to Jim
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to him
Mike Schmidt was maybe 21
Uncle Jimmy said, "That guys a bum!"
He took it back in '80, '81
The year they finally won
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to Jim
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to him
Uncle Jimmy smelled like cigarettes
About as skinny as a man can get
He lost those fingers in the machinery
In 1963
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to Jim
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to him
Crew cut, missing finger
He could-a-been a country singer
He looked like George Jones
At least to me he did!
Uncle Jimmy stopped by the house
Stood on the lawn and he looked about
I don't recall him ever coming in
But I was just a kid back then
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to Jim
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to him
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to Jim
Oh Lord, show a little mercy to Jim
