described in ken burns' "baseball" series as the theme song of the old boston pilgrims' "royal rooter" fan club, this song begins "tessy, i love you madly". i'd be interested in the legitimate lyrics and also any of the alternate lyrics sung by the rooters during the first world series game ever played. "we beat them three games out of the first four and then they started singing that damn 'tessy' song. we could hardly play ball, they were singing 'tessy' so loud. when honus wagner came to bat they'd sing 'honus, why do you hit so badly?'"
