Some say he's from Minnesota

Some say he's Dominican

But it's wrote on the wall at Fenway Park

That he is a Boston man, O Lord

He is a Boston Man


David Ortiz was a baseball-drivin' man

He died with a baseball bat in his hand

Oh come along boys and line the park

For Big Papi ain't never comin' back

Papi ain't comin' back


Big Papi he could hammer

He could whistle, he could sing

He went to the park, early in the morning

Just to hear his hammer ring

Just to hear his hammer ring


Papi went to his manager

Says the manager, what can you do?

Says I can hit a bunt, I can hit a jack

I can play first base too

I can play first base too


King George said to Papi

You've got a willing mind

But you just well lay down your bat

You'll never beat this team of mine

You'll never beat this team of mine


Big Papi said to his captain

You're just a common man

Before those Yankees beat us down

I'll die with my bat in my hand

I'll die with my bat in my hand


Papi went to the stadium

And they put him up with three games down

The lead was tall and Big Papi so small

That he laid down his bat and frowned

That he laid down his bat and frowned


Then Big Papi, he did swing his bat

He did make that lumber sound

Says now one more lick fore quittin' time

And I'll beat the Yankees down

And I'll beat the Yankees down
