Shoeless Joe fez o que disseram, deixou cair algumas bolas altasShoeless Joe did what they said he dropped a couple fly balls
E ele foi até o arremessador e deu um dedo no olho deleAnd he walked up to the pitcher and he poked him in the eye
E na sétima entrada, com os Black Sox quase derrotadosAnd in the seventh inning with the Black Sox nearly beaten
Havia alguém assistindo do seu dirigível acima das arquibancadasThere was someone who was watching from his blimp above the stands
Segurando um rifle em suas mãos grossas e carnudasCradling a rifle in his thick and meaty hands
E como se você ainda não tivesse adivinhado, era Kenesaw Mountain LandisAnd as if you hadn't guessed yet it was Kenesaw Mountain Landis

Kenesaw disse: largue essa luvaKenesaw said drop that glove
Ou eu juro por Deus lá em cimaOr I swear by God above
Vou fazer você se arrepender de jogar beisebolI'll make you regret playing baseball
E Shoeless Joe olhou pra cima e viuAnd Shoeless Joe looked up and saw
A boca do rifle prateado abertaThe silver rifle's gaping maw
E embora ninguém tivesse notado aindaAnd though no one had noticed yet
A cueca dele estava ficando molhadaHis underwear was getting wet
Ele se mijou na frente de todo mundoHe peed himself in front of everyone

Shoeless Joe estava acabado, mas não conseguia admitirShoeless Joe was finished but he couldn't quite admit it
Então ele levantou o dedo do meio acima dos outros quatroSo he raised his middle finger up above the other four
E Kenesaw mirou com cuidado e disparou uma única balaAnd Kenesaw took careful aim and fired a single bullet
E ele cortou aquele dedo sujo e deixou sua arma de confiança cairAnd he shot that dirty finger off and he dropped his trusty gun
